The Quantum Self by Danah Zohar

The Quantum Self by Danah Zohar

In The Quantum Self, Danah Zohar argues that the insights of modem physics can illuminate our understanding of everyday life -- our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world at large. Guiding us through the strange and fascinating workings of the subatomic realm to create a new model of human consciousness, the author addresses enduring philosophical questions. Does the new physics provide a basis by which our consciousness might continue beyond death? How does the material world (for instance, ugly inner cities) impinge upon our sense of self? Is there a subatomic wellspring from which our creativity, our empathy with others, and our feelings of unity with the inanimate world originate?

Most important, Zohar shows how the vitality of the new physics combats the alienation and fragmentation of twentieth-century life, and replaces it with a model of reality in which the universe itself may possess a type of consciousness, of which human consciousness is one expression.

Danah Zohar is a management thought leader and the author of nine previous books. Her most recent books include Spiritual Capital: Wealth We Can Live By and SQ - Spiritual Intelligence, The Ultimate Intelligence, which together constitute ground-breaking work on SQ, spiritual intelligence, and spiritual capital. She has also written Rewiring the Corporate Brain; The Quantum Society; and The Quantum Self. These latter three works extend the language and principles of quantum physics into a new understanding of human consciousness, psychology and social organization, particularly the organization of companies. Zohar studied physics and philosophy at MIT, and did her postgraduate work in philosophy, religion, and psychology at Harvard University. She regularly speaks at leadership forums and works with corporate leadership teams worldwide. Her clients have included Volvo, Coca Cola, McKinsey, Astra Pharmaceutical, Marks & Spencer, Motorola, and many other firms. She lectures widely throughout the world at conferences organized by UNESCO, The European Cultural Foundation, The Davos World Economic Forum, and many other national and international organizations.
