We live in unprecedented times; indeed, turbulent times that can arguably be defined as ushering humanity into a new Golden Age, offering the opportunity to embrace new ways of learning and living in a globally and collaboratively entangled connectedness. In this shifting and dynamic environment, life demands accelerated cycles of learning experiences. Fortunately, we as a humanity have begun to look within ourselves to better understand the way our mind/brain operates, the amazing qualities of the body that power our thoughts and feelings, and the reciprocal loops as those thoughts and feelings change our physical structure. This emerging knowledge begs us to relook and rethink what we know about learning, providing a new starting point to expand toward the future. This book is a treasure for those interested in how recent findings in neuroscience impact learning. The result of this work is an expanded experiential learning model, the Intelligent Complex Adaptive Learning System, which adds a fifth mode of Social Engagement to Kolb's concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation, with the five modes undergirded by the power of Self in an ever-shifting environment. A significant conclusion is that, should they desire, adults have much more control over their learning than they may realize.

Virtues, qualities of being morally good, are concepts that when thought about expand consciousness and when acted upon increase intelligent activity. As we move into an uncertain future, never has it been more important to develop the virtue of good character. Each person carries the responsibility for acting with good character to the best of their ability. And since good character is a choice and can be developed, this is a LARGE responsibility! This series of short books, which are published under Conscious Look Books, are conversational in nature, taking full advantage of your lived experience to share what can sometimes be difficult concepts to grab onto. But, you are ready. We live in a world that is tearing itself apart, where people are out of control, rebelling from years of real and perceived abuse and suppression of thought. Yet, this chaos offers us as a humanity the opportunity to make a giant leap forward! By opening ourselves to ourselves, we are able to fully explore who we are. With that exploration comes a glimmer of hope as we begin to reclaim the power of each and every mind developed by the lived human experience!

The Intelligent Complex Adaptive System (ICAS) is an organic model of the firm based on research in complexity and neuroscience, and incorporates networking theory and knowledge management. This book shows how ICAS is designed to help leaders and managers of knowledge organizations succeed in a non-linear, complex, and turbulent environment.
