Sonia Overall invites us to see walking as a creative writing method.

The 'Little Heresies' seminars - this is the second published collection of the talks given at them - provide an important public platform to debate the future of public services.Now more than ever it seems vital to challenge the 'received wisdom', 'zombie thinking' and old, tired and outdated habits and practices that continue to infest important aspects of our public services. For, as the authors demonstrate, what appear to be well-intentioned policies not only create perverse incentives but frequently cause lasting damage to the social fabric.Private sector management methods, underpinned by neoliberal thinking, were introduced into UK public services by Margaret Thatcher. Many other countries have adopted the same approach. And successive governments continue to be duped into believing, against plenty of evidence to the contrary, that New Public Management, as it is now called, works. It doesn't.In this second publication from the Little Heresies series, nine heretics, all leading thinkers and practitioners in their professional fields, explain the disastrous effects of wrong thinking and ineffective practice in areas like standardisation, professionalisation and measurement in public services, so-called evidence-based policy-making, money creation and, looking more widely, in the troubled waters of philanthropy and the third/charitable sector.

This book suggests the challenge for all of us in a climate emergency is to dissolve our artistic or habitual/life practice, to "sink into the dark forest beneath our feet", to embed ourselves in the grander patterns, systems and flows of our wet planet, to "feel our way, but also to allow what we feel to feel us, and direct us by its flows".

Barry Oshry explains how genocides occur when cultures meet and demagogues sell us messages of superiority or purity. The two conventional solutions to encountering the "other", Purity and Tolerance, both exact a terrible cost. Instead we must change our patterns of interaction so the possibility of Power and Love, working together, can emerge.

A handbook for anyone who wants to make their own 'mis-guided' tour or walk.

Barry Oshry shows that, despite many references to paradigms in the literature, there are no scientific paradigms (as defined by Thomas Kuhn) in management/organization theory and development.
