This insightful book argues that, in this rapidly changing world full of social, economic and environmental uncertainties, we must each develop an inner capacity to respond and adapt to life in creative and innovative ways.
Emma Kidd proposes that the path to a happy, healthy and peaceful world begins with the individual. By learning to recognize our cognitive habits of interrupting and defining life through our fixed ideas, labels and judgements, we can begin to develop a dynamic way of seeing that enables us to more attentively perceive and respond to life, with benefits for ourselves and those around us.
First Steps to Seeing offers a practical set of stepping stones that guide the reader into this dynamic way of seeing and relating. Using personal stories, practical exercises and real-world case studies in development, education and business, Kidd takes the reader on a journey to explore how to give our full attention to life, and how to enliven the world that we each co-create. An inspiring guide for all those working for social change in youth work, business, education or research, or simply seeking fresh paths in life.
