About this listen

New edition, expanded and updated.

With the release of Theory U almost 10 years ago, Otto Scharmer set in motion a revolution in thought. Scharmer explained that what we pay attention to and how we pay attention is key to what we create. What prevents us from attending to situations more effectively is that we aren't fully aware of and in touch with the inner place from which attention and intention originate. This is what Scharmer calls our blind spot. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self - the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration - in the realm of "presencing," a term coined by Scharmer that combines the concepts of presence and sensing.

Now, 10 years later, Scharmer revisits the phenomenon Theory U has become and updates and reports on the progress and evolution since initial release.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good content, it would be helpful and make it a better experience if you made the chapter titles a descriptive statement rather than just “Chapter 4” etc. It’s difficult to revisit and find what you’re looking for. IMO this is essential for audiobooks - we don’t have bookmarks like a physical book help us out.

The author seems to have gone out of their way to make the subject matter of the book more complex than it is- possibly to give it greater importance. I simply did not enjoy their writing style. In general, I felt like I was listening to a self help guru describe the instruction manual of a Rolls Royce plane engine. There is an old adage that “people who truly understand the subject matter are able to simplify it for those who don’t”. That insight is lacking here. Granted, there are some good ideas in the book. However, those ideas are tremendously inaccessible.
