Publisher Description
"I believe we can change the world if we start talking to one another again." With this simple declaration, Margaret Wheatley proposes that citizens band together with their colleagues and friends to create the solutions for social change, both locally and globally, that are so badly needed. Such change will not come from governments or corporations but from the ageless process of thinking together in conversation. Turning to One Another encourages this process.

"I really enjoyed this book. It has very astute observations about issues that teachers currently face in public schools. It doesn't offer solutions because that is not its purpose. Its purpose is to empower teachers to solve their own problems through reflection, conversation and action."

Turning to One Another Listener Reviews

" Awesome reflections, mediations and of course would be great for courageous conversations.... "
— Karen, 10/3/2013 -
" Full of great thoughts about how talking to each other can change the world. Unfortunately, it's not a very compelling read. It loses momentum frequently. Thus, though it is an enjoyable book for the most part, it has been returned to the shelf for now. "

" This is one of those that I read over and over, that I share pieces of with those I love. her prose and proposals are so simple and profound. "
— Elena, 5/11/2013 -
" Meg Wheatley translates philosophical concepts into action items to create community and meaning. Gives a starting point to build that "third place" interaction that weaves us together. "
— Kristin, 3/16/2013 -
" Wheatley--ever the idealist--still manages to inspire me to pursue community rather than structures as my core organizing principle. "
— Rob, 12/29/2012 -
" Beautifully and thoughtfully written. Why can't we just all get along... "
— David, 11/12/2011 -
" Great book for in depth conversation structure to understand our mindset and others in building a tighter team. "
— Kendra, 9/6/2011 -
" The premise of this book is lovely -- but the actual conversations leave something to be desired. I wonder if it's simply that we don't know how to have the kind of conversations that Wheatley is suggesting. "
— Elsa, 3/29/2011 -
" Great little book that demonstrates how the simple act of having a conversation can help bring about a more peaceful world "
— Katie, 8/9/2010 -
" Somewhat interesting organizational studies text...not a ton of meat to it, you can read it in an hour, but still more useful than most of the bulls--t I read when getting my leadership degree. A very personal, meditative take on human interaction. "
— RandomAnthony, 1/2/2010 -
" It is time to restore hope and this time we must take action with our hope! "
— Cindy, 2/5/2009 -
" This book has been a fabulous resource in my community organizing work. Meg Wheatley is a treasure; she invites the read to step back from the complication that is problem-solving and consider an alternate route. Great book -- the title is spot on. "
