The crisis of our time is one of shared perception and common will. Despite all of the existing
change methodologies, we lack accessible collective cultivation practices. Tracy Huston's
book is a significant contribution to addressing that void. She covers new ground in describing
collective cultivation practices that draw on improvisational theater and storytelling.
Essential reading for all practitioners of presencing-based transformation work!

A modern biologist, Humberto Maturana, has said, "Love, allowing the other to be a legitimate
other, is the only emotion that expands intelligence." And yet how strikingly absent this "L"
word is from our working environments. In this remarkable book, Tracy Huston frankly
confronts the cost of that omission--in our authenticity, our sense of who we are and what
is possible and in the sustainability of our business results. True to her aspiration of building
places of remembering, restoring, and healing, Tracy proposes simple, practical, and
profound solutions to our dilemma. Through individual reflective practices, collective
exercises, and unforgettable examples, Tracy helps us re-connect with what it means to turn
first to love.

Inside-Out gives keen implications for "evolutionizing" our early childhood to adolescence
educational models. In that regard, what is most revelatory is Tracy Huston's belief that
knowledge and wisdom is intrinsic rather than extrinsically acquired; that there is a wealth of
innovativeness imbedded within us, apart from the cultivation of it through rote, intellectual
exercises; and that, among us all, there is an underlying unity of purpose. All we need do is
improve our knowing of it.
