OCTAVE Wisdom

The essence of business is the business economy, which we can say generates wealth. However, the most fundamental element is serving human happiness. Creating wealth within this framework is an Wellbeing Economy.  Consciousness is the foundation of capital, and only with a clear path can businesses thrive.

Quantum Leadership

New Consciousness in Business

by Frederick Chavalit Tsao, Chris Laszlo

In this new book, Frederick Chavalit Tsao and Chris Laszlo argue that current approaches to leadership fail to produce positive outcomes for either businesses or the communities they serve. Employee disengagement and customer fickleness remain high, resulting in a lack of creativity and collaboration at all levels of entrepreneurial activity. Investor demand for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) continues to be poorly integrated into profit strategies.

Drawing on extensive research, this book shows how changing a person’s consciousness is the most powerful lever for unlocking his or her leadership potential to create wealth and serve humankind. A wide range of practices of connectedness provide the keys. The journey to higher consciousness changes people at a deep intuitive level, combining embodied experience with analytic-cognitive skill development. Tsao and Laszlo show how leaders who pursue this journey are more likely to flourish with significant benefits to both business and society. These include greater creativity and collaboration along with an increased capability to inspire people and produce lasting change. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of quantum leadership and the day-to-day practices that can help them achieve greater effectiveness and wellbeing at work.

Dawn of an Era of Wellbeing

New Paths to a Better World

by Ervin Laszlo, Frederick Tsao, Deepak Chopra

Humankind is facing monumental challenges—the sustainability of our natural resources, climate change, wealth inequalities, breakdowns in social structures, the impact of artificial intelligence, and of course the threat of pandemics. What we need to understand is that with each of these challenges is an opportunity to create a better future for our Earth. But first we need to open our eyes and understand how the old “normal”—the conventions and assumptions about how our systems work—are no longer sustainable. Change is going to occur, and a “new normal” is not simply necessary; it is imminent. The authors of Dawn of An Era of Well-Being offer a unique worldview called the “quantum paradigm” that is emerging in society. Their concepts and principles are drawn from theories of Western science and Eastern wisdom traditions of human spirituality. These compass points for navigating the uncharted waters we are entering will be of interest to all who want to find a path to a better world. In this critical work authors Ervin Laszlo and Frederick Tsao are joined by several contributors including Deepak Chopra, Jean Houston, Neale Donald Walsch, and other well-known thought leaders.

幸福时代的曙光

通往更美好世界的新途径

作者 曹慰德,欧文·拉兹洛

本书探索了创造一个更美好世界:一个幸福时代的新途径。作者和撰稿人探讨了以当代科学为基础、典型的西方途径,以及以传统为基础、目前正在积极复兴的中国和普遍的东方途径。受邀的思想领袖们又进一步探索了更多的创新方案,所有这些途径和方法,最终得出的结论是:世界是一个“整体”,这是实现人类幸福的必要基础。

面对未来与无常,我们很容易产生一种混乱感,但混乱中存在着无数的可能性:人类彼此相连、与我们的根重新相连、实现意识的转变。现在我们有可能着手为人类家庭创造一个全新的、更好的时代,一个以个人和集体幸福为标志的时代。

作者希望,也期待着,当人类社会开始着手建设一个更美好的世界,如凤凰涅槃一般,从全球医疗危机中崛起时,这些观点和方法将被证明具有实践价值。
