Summary: This book is about a powerful new strategy: one that has sprung full blown of late from a brain that understands that the world has changed and therefore so must we. What must change is the quality and quantity of our awareness of complexity and our skills and comfort level in working with it. In their domination of human history, the carp and shark strategies of information processing have posted severe limitations on what humans can notice and how much freedom they will be permitted in response to a changing world.
