The Space Between
On Agency, Coherence and Authorship
Publisher Description
Life often moves too quickly for us to notice how we are responding to it. Words are spoken, emotions arise, and actions follow—sometimes before we realize we have chosen them.
This book explores the small but decisive space between what happens to us and how we respond. In that pause, presence becomes possible, values come into view, and agency re-enters the picture. Through reflection and lived experience, the book examines coherence and authorship as everyday human capacities rather than ideals to be achieved.
It offers no techniques or prescriptions, only an invitation: to slow down, notice the pause when it appears, and consider what becomes possible when we participate more fully in the authorship of our own lives.
