Is
it best to be an individualist, competing for that prize we think we
have to have? Seger argues that it is rather through our
relationships that we find true success.
She
presents a new way of thinking, concentrating on our connectedness.
She helps readers understand the process of transitioning to web
thinking, suggesting we develop new imagery and visualize connecting
rather than competing.
This
book could be used for renewing reasons for teamwork models and
skills. She has included discussion questions at the end of each
chapter for group use. The book could also be used on an individual
level for personal development. Seger tells of her own spiral
downward into depression and how it took her web thinking to find the
resources to get out of it.
While
Seger writes quit a bit about the spiritual aspect of web thinking,
she has a religiously inclusive view. This is something evangelical
Christians may find difficult.
This
book was written nearly fifteen years ago. Seger's examples and
references to people and issues are evidence of its 2002 publication
date.
Food
for thought: “...we are all surrounded by people who can help us
mature into better human beings.” (95)
My
rating: 3/5.
