The Paradox Process

Opposites are all around us. From electron/proton to profit/loss, they are the building blocks from which all reality is constructed. When we learn to put opposites together in new arrangements, we arrive at the very wellspring of creativity. When we weigh problems from diverse viewpoints, we uncover amazing solutions. When we get comfortable with contradiction, we live and work far more easily in these chaotic and "hyperchanging" times. The Paradox Process will awaken you to the power of enigma and transform you into a paradoxical thinker. With your active participation, it will teach you to embrace paradox, use it masterfully, and reap the benefits that invariably accrue. A wealth of specific techniques, such as suspended judgment and concept displacement, will help enhance your creative thinking and leadership skills. Dozens of mind-training exercises will blast through your mental barriers and provoke you to approach problems in new ways. Along the way, you'll meet dozens of business-people who have used paradoxical thinking to achieve breakthroughs in industries ranging from investment management to biotechnology, entertainment, and manufacturing.
