45. A Systems View of Life, with Fritjof Capra

  • Summary

  • My guest this week is Fritjof Capra, living systems theorist and bestselling author of The Systems View of Life. He discusses how:

    • Systems thinking represents a shift from a mechanistic to an organic or network worldview
    • Complexity theory brought a breakthrough in our understanding of living systems
    • Living systems are self-organising networks with processes of creativity and regeneration
    • Social systems are enabled by communities of practice, informal communication and culture
    • Change agency happens by aligning with and reinforcing feedback loops through movements
