I’ve long been interested in what it means to be

conscious. Every day, we interact with people

along the whole continuum from conscious to

unconscious.


What’s obvious is that conscious people are easier

to live with, work with, and play with. To strive to be

more conscious is the highest intention to which we

can aspire.


Conscious Becoming is an invitation to explore what

it means to become more conscious in our world.

It is written in the style of the Tao te Ching, the

ancient book of eastern wisdom that has inspired

many of us to deeper levels of being and becoming.


Like the Tao, this work is a collection of

verses in 81 sections and reflects the powerful

themes in many of Jack’s other books, including

Zen practice, the new sciences, and appreciative

approaches to life and work.


My hope is that it becomes an invitation to new

possibilities of reflection and conversation.
