The Weekend Read – Synchronicity (The Inner Path of Leadership) by Joseph Jaworski
By alun | July 12, 2009
This is (yet) another book that I wouldn’t have come across without Chris Barrow’s guidance, so cheers again cb. One of the joys or occasional chores of this, recently neglected, part of the blog is that I demand of myself to re-read or at least scan the mentioned book if it isn’t a new one to me. I’m looking forward to this read.
Joseph Jaworski was a successful trial lawyer; as was his father who became the Watergate Prosecutor. In many ways he “had it all” until, in his words, he realised that: “Mine was a Disney World sort of life – inauthentic, narrow, utterly predictable, and largely devoid of any real meaning.”
The catalyst came at the age of 41 when his wife of 20 years divorced him. This book is the story of his search for meaning, he tells how he left the practice of law, established the American Leadership Forum and then worked with Shell as head of Global Scenario planning.
A fascinating read, if you’re looking for something inspiring for the holiday this is for you.
Available from my Amazon site.
