Id ban places ish Alexander's aims are much more ambitious and idealistic than Hillier's-the WI 0 to create a radically new way of place making that is grounded in physical design butka s InCOrporates.
I believe that, ultimately, Alexander's notion of strong centers offers t d most important OPPortunity and challenge for urban place making because, both ill theo: , a practice, the Idea of centers has the potential to gather what is apart and provide all parts i place to belong.
Interestingly, in the table of contents of the four volumes of Nature of Order [see Alexander , p. He also believes that we can come to understand and make strong centers self-consciously, a possibility that, if ever successfiIlly actualized, could revolutionize and revitalize human and built worlds. And if that possibility does someday materialize, Hillier's understanding of spatial configuration, natural movement, co-presence, and encounter will most likely hold a central place.
Implications for Environmental Philosophy Too often in recent studies of the person-world relationship, particularly by philosophers e. Alexander and Hillier's work is One important corrective because both men indicate how the world-particularly the physical and spatial qualities of the world- contribute to the person-world way rather than another.
He says that if architects and urban designers wish to contribute to making robust urban districts with a lively street life, then pathway configuration- specifically, a permeable, integrated deformed grid-is crucial, Similarly, Alexander's work is important for environmental philosophy because he suggests that the serendipitous miscellany of traditional urban places described by Rae can be revisioned today as an intricate hierarchy of dense, overlapping, variously-scaled centers regenerable potentially through a participatory process grounded in a thorough understanding of environmental and place wholeness.
Both Alexander and Hillier's work indicates the considerable subtlety by which the physical world-in this case, largely the human-built worldeontributes to the possibilities by which human beings come together, or not, in nearness, co-presence, and potential belonging.
These men's work points toward a much more comprehensive understanding of the physical world's contribution to lifeworld and offers a provocative extension of what "world" means fur human-being-in-world.

Wholeness in a Disruptive World offers timely insights and practical advice on how we can stay balanced in face of challenges, sustain our best work in the long haul, and contribute to the larger world around us. As the demands of a disruptive world grow and pull us in different directions, it has never been more important to be whole.
Most people recognise this, but few know how to achieve it. Instead, we run on the treadmill of work and become ever more drained and burnt out, while the organisations that we are part of become ever more fragmented and unhealthy.
This book aims to bridge that gap. A Buddhist psychiatrist challenges the preoccupation of Western psychology with the ego and its satisfaction, showing readers how to attain true happiness through Buddhist spirituality and through favoring being over doing. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.
If you want a way to have an easier and more satisfying life, this book may well be the elusive "how to" you've been searching for.
A series of crises in the author's life led her on an intensive search for solutions. The result is a new method of personal transformation that is simpler, gentler, more direct, and also appears to be more effective and dependable than previous approaches.

Doing the Wholeness Work feels like a kindness to yourself as you're doing it; the only side effect is that your life continues improving-gradually and dependably.

We as people must know and find our whole self in order to be affective and positive leaders in our world today. The four intelligences, which Covey has called them make logical sense, because they make up who I am as a whole. The spirit, the mind, the emotion, and the body make up me, but if the spirit was absent the ego would take over and the rest of who I am would never have a sense of fulfillment.
That is why I desire to stay close to God, because He will guide me. While God is my center He will guide the rest of me and help me be more effective than I could even be. Covey, Stephen R.

A Hidden Wholeness weaves together four themes that its author has pursued for forty years: the shape of an integral life, the meaning of community, teaching and learning for transformation, and nonviolent social change. The reductionism and materialism of our modern world make it easy to imagine everything can be cleanly broken down into smaller and smaller parts. Yet the straightforward example of light in a hologram, which can't be reduced to its parts, points to an underlying interconnected reality--a wholeness.
Physicist Sky Nelson-Isaacs uses numerous familiar examples--rainbows, music, photography--to illustrate a fundamental wholeness found in nature.
Just as light is filtered as it passes through a filmstrip, Nelson-Isaacs points out that our human experience is filtered through thoughts and feelings. This view provides an explanation as to why, in our daily lived reality, we can feel so broken and not-whole. Nelson-Isaacs weaves together cutting-edge ideas into the nature of space and time and original research, with a compelling message of urgency.
The filters we use to make choices everyday hide important information from us, leading us away from experiences of flow. Through synchronicities, we are led to life lessons tailored to our readiness for change. Nelson-Isaacs reconsiders the view of time itself, suggesting that we live not just in this moment but on a timeline of history, part of a wave moving from our past into our future.
