Description
This is a book about culture and the nature of risk written in a storytelling and accessible format. Its foundational premise is that culture cannot be known through books or definitions but is best known through the phenomenon of experience and felt knowing. So, in a way, the book is situated in a paradox.
The two authors bring their considerable depth of experience, education and risk intelligence to this discussion on culture. The comparative stories that each author brings to discussion, the rich differences between two distinctly different cultures, views of faith, religion, philosophy and the world, make this a unique book. This enables the reader to feel the richness of diverse cultures but also the way these two authors come together in tolerance, understanding, discussion, debate and resonance.
It is through the many stories of this book that the reader walks with each in their world, experiences their history and begins to understand their particular focus on culture and risk.
The book commences and concludes with a conversation between each author to emphasise a desire to step beyond an academic understanding to a lived experience of journeying in learning. This book is an invitation to join in that walk and understand cultural being.
