The Alba of Emotions
By Susana Bloch
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Newfield Network Founder
This book offers us an extraordinary possibility to reflect on six basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, joy, tenderness, and eroticism, and from there to observe and better understand the complex, mixed emotions that we normally experience. It shows the essential role of breathing in our emoting and ways to learn individually and collectively in this field.  Susana Bloch is an internationally known research psychologist specializing in neurophysiology and psychophysiology. She is the author of over 100 scientific publications in international magazines on the brain and behavior. After many years of research, she created her own method of expanding emotional learning, called “Alba Emoting.”

A General Theory of Love 
By Thomas Lewis, M.D., Fari Amini, M.D. and Richard Lannon, M.D.
A wonderfully written book about the role of emotions in human lives.  Original, passionate and eloquent.

The Spell of the Sensuous
By David Abram
A brilliantly written book on the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment.  It addresses the sensual foundations of language as probably nobody has ever done it.

The Collected Wisdom of Heraclitus 
Translated by Brooks Haxton
Heraclitus is a strikingly relevant philosopher who wrote five hundred years before our era.  Every sentence is an invitation to wonder and to question our presuppositions.  Full of wisdom.

Global Mind Change 
By Willis Harman
"If the world that science tells us about is reality, how does it happen that we don’t feel more at home in it?" asks Harman at the opening of this classic book.  A fundamental book to read if you want to have some understanding of the world we live in.

The Scientist in the Crib: What Early Learning Tells Us about the Mind
By Alison Gopnik, PhD, Andrew Meltzoff PhD and Patricia Kuhl, PhD
The author are pioneers in the field of cognitive sciences who write about how babies and young children learn.  It reveals in fascinating ways how they use some of the same methods that allow scientists to learn so much about the world.

Mastery
By George Leonard
Mastery can bring not only a higher level of excellence, but also a deeper sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives.  From his expertise in the martial art of aikido and drawing on Zen philosophy, George Leonard writes a delightfully simple and profound book.

The Tree of Knowledge: The Biological Roots of Human Understanding
By Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela 
The authors explain at the same time our human processes of thought and the facts of biology.  It may not be an easy read, but it is rewarding all the way.

Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design
By Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores
Another classic.  Published in 1986, it maintains all its power.  This is a book of science and engineering, and it is both theoretical and practical, concerned at the same time with computer technology and with the nature of human existence, with philosophy of language and with office automation.

Biology Revisioned
By Willis W. Harman, Ph.D. & Elisabet Sahtouris, Ph.D. 
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Newfield Network Founder
This book presents an engaging look at the changing state of biology and proposes that we reconsider our views of science and life. The authors suggest that it is an historical accident that physics came to be the generally accepted root discipline of science. If, for example, biology were instead the foundation, life sciences would be analyzed in a completely different way. We would need to look at wholes (organisms and ecological systems) prior to parts (fundamental particles). The book examines several theories of "new biology." But, bottom line, it strongly argues for the need of a new epistemology. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It is inspiring, challenging and a fundamental piece in the building of a new thinking.

The Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics
By Eric D. Beinhocker
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Newfield Network Founder
A groundbreaking book on economics. The author claims that the field of economics was built on the fundamental assumptions of 19th century physics and never actualized. He proposes a remaking of economics considering the new developments in science and philosophy, particularly complexity theory. This book is required reading for anyone interested in the future direction of economic thinking and its impact on business and society, in general.

Smart World: Breakthrough Creativity and the New Science of Ideas
By Richard Ogle
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Newfield Network Founder
In this wonderful book the author, and old friend of and collaborator with Newfield, argues that creative breakthroughs are not just the results of brilliant individuals working in isolation, but rather they happened when individuals and groups had access to new idea-spaces and exploited the principles that governed them. Richard Ogle boldly challenges the ontology of the mind that modernity has developed as an epiphenomenon of the brain, and takes us to an understanding that privileges the contexts and the conversational connections that take place in those contexts. Great reading - don’t miss it.

Boomeritis 
By Ken Wilber
A novel that allows for a better understanding of Wilber’s integral thinking.  He contrasts the “flatland” of scientific materialism with its integral vision which embraces body, mind, soul and spirit in self, culture and nature.

Leadership without Easy Answers 
By Ronald A. Heifetz
A well developed set of prescriptions about leaders in very different environments and situations.  Brilliant research.

Leadership and the New Science 
By Margaret J. Wheatley
It is already a classic. The author connects the revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics, chaos theory and evolutionary biology and brings them to illuminate fundamental issues of organizations, work, and people.

Global Mind Change 
By Willis Harman
"If the world that science tells us about is reality, how does it happen that we don’t feel more at home in it?" asks Harman at the opening of this classic book.  A fundamental book to read if you want to have some understanding of the world we live in.

Quantum Questions
By Ken Wilber
A collection of mystical writings by great physicists: Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Einstein, De Broglie, Planck, Jeans, Pauli, Eddington.  Surpring and revealing aspects of their thinking come to life, connecting realms we stubbornly have pushed apart, like matter and spirit, science and religion.

A Theory of Everything: An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science and Spirituality
By Ken Wilber
If you are interested in knowing Wilber’s thinking, this is probably the best way to go about it.

The Holographic Universe
By Michael Talbot
This book written in 1991, like all great books, maintains its freshness and power by making discoveries in physics available to the non-scientist reader as the author addresses questions about the paranormal abilities of the mind and the unresolved riddles of brain and body.

Isaac Newton
By James Gleick
Biographies are generally a wonderful way to reflect on human genius and the prevalent world-view and the thinking of a particular era.  This book is a great look not at the first modern scientist but to the last medieval magician.

The Revenge of Gaia: Earth’s Climate Crisis & The Fate of Humanity
By James Lovelock
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Founder of Newfield Network
The author of this book is the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis, now Gaia Theory, that tells us that the entire Earth, including the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere and upper layers of rock, functions as a single living superorganism, regulating its internal environment much us an animal regulates its body temperature and chemical balance.  Today, James Lovelock says that organism is sick and has some fever, in part due to human activity, especially the emission of carbon dioxide and the agricultural practices of our times.  Our civilization is in danger and we are still sleeping. 

The author provides grounding for his interpretation of the serious danger we are facing, and he proposes some controversial actions.  It is a beautifully written book, a WAKE UP CALL, and a strong challenge for traditional environmentalists. 

Leading Through Conflict, How Successful Leaders Transform Differences into Opportunities
By Mark Gerzon
Recommended by: Julio Olalla, Founder of Newfield Network
As globalization puts together people of different backgrounds and worldviews, our world becomes more interdependent and full of old and new kinds of conflicts that desperately require "mediating leadership."  This book addresses that issue, pointing to what is needed to transform defensive energy into creativity and collaboration.  The author draws from Integral Vision, System Thinking, and Conscious Communication.  This book is a good reading particularly for coaches who work with leaders.
