Who Do We Choose To Be? Book Study

  • The St. Catherine 729 East Saint Catherine Street Louisville, KY, 40203 United States (map)

Who Do We Choose To Be? by Margaret Wheatley begins with these words:

In a world we cannot recognize, how do we find a way forward? In this world we do not understand, how do we know what to do? When so little is comprehensible, what is meaningful work? What is genuine contribution?

The second edition of the book (published in 2023) is described this way: How do we see clearly so that we can act wisely? Wheatley brings present reality into clear and troubling focus using multiple lenses of Western and Indigenous sciences, and the historic patterns of collapse in complex civilizations. With gentle but insistent guidance to face reality, she offers us the path and practices to be sane leaders who know how to evoke people's inherent generosity, creativity, and kindness.

Let’s explore these important themes together!

Each session will include a short summary of salient points and plenty of time for discussion.
