DAVID BOHM
David Bohm (1917–1992) was an American-Brazilian-British scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century; and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.
ON DIALOGUE
Never before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses and societies. Renowned scientist David Bohm believed there was a better way for humanity to discover meaning and to achieve harmony. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, and achieve a renewed sense of purpose.
