Bringing Forth Life-Coherence
From Technical Distinctions to Co-Owned Living WorldsBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length5h 25m
About this audiobook
Bringing Forth Life-Coherence is the audiobook edition of Life-Coherent Transition: A Maturana-Informed Stakeholder Engagement Framework. It explores how precise life-coherent ideas can move from theory into lived transformation without becoming imposed, diluted, or captured.
Drawing on Humberto Maturana’s insights into structural coupling, languaging, emotioning, and the legitimacy of the other, this work reframes stakeholder engagement as a process of co-participation and co-ownership. It offers a practical relational praxis for listening, translating, piloting, measuring, reflecting, and adapting together.
This is a guide for anyone working in nation-building, public finance, health, education, food systems, water, climate, tourism, technology, spirituality, or community renewal who seeks to help bring forth a more life-coherent world.
