Finding Wholeness Through the Science of Connecting: An Introduction to The Dynamics of Life Model

Autor Victor MacGill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2024
Drawing on the author’s decades of experience in social work, this book introduces readers to a systems approach to reconnecting in a complex, disconnected world applying the Dynamics of Life model.
The systems sciences allow us to explore how we connect and disconnect, which can help us find ourselves again. Through his ‘Dynamics of Life’ model, Victor MacGill presents this science in a simple, understandable way so that practitioners can build their skills and learn methods to apply with clients. The beginning of the book introduces theoretical concepts, such as complex adaptive systems, living systems and 4e cognition. The second part introduces tools for how to manage conflict and to reconnect and rebuild relationships with ourselves, individuals, family and community. The book is a manual for reconnecting ourselves to ourselves, others and the world to realise our greater potential.
An essential resource in a disconnected and fragmented world, this book is for anyone in the helping professions, including counsellors, psychologists, social workers and coaches and so forth.

Recenzii

“MacGill’s Dynamics of Life model represents a welcome and much needed contribution to the humanistic understanding of what it means to be human from a systemic and deeply relational perspective. His work stands to empower those searching for ways of living that foster not only individual thrivability but collective flourishing. “
Alexander Laszlo, Director General of the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research, President ISSS 2012-2013.
“Victor MacGill, in this book, takes us on a journey of discovery of what it means to be a complex system and embedded in an even more complex system. He provides important ways of examining the human condition and gaining insights that can bring on a more viable existence.”
George Mobus, Associate Professor Emeritus, University of Washington. Author of A Theory of Sapience, ISSS President 2021-2022. 
"An insightful journey into systems theory, this book is a heartfelt reflection on life's dynamics. It blends deep understanding with compassion, exploring the essence of human nature with honesty, vulnerability and profound wisdom."
