The Creative Imperative: Human Growth and Planetary Evolution

The Creative Imperative first introduced the concept of Cultural Maturity and the ideas of Creative Systems Theory and is still the place to go to find the most detailed presentation of many of the theory's core concepts. The book brings particular nuance to the theory's developmental thesis, how we can see parallel dynamics in the way human systems of all sorts—individuals, relationships, organizations, and cultural systems—grow and change. For many people it remains a definitive source.
