About this book

„Hubert Landier is a member of a community whose aim is to reformulate our ways of thinking and acting, and whose ideal is to push back the limits of our human condition. In his quest, our adventurer is flanked by notable and valiant companions such as Basarab Nicolescu, who dreams of human revolution, and Edgar Morin, committed to the path of our metamorphosis. It is precisely this enthusiasm that drives this book. The author’s terrain of choice is the organisation, a microcosm (of varying scope) for which he offers a clinical analysis accessible to all novices. The productivist organisation (company) sanitizes individual and collective potential, extracting nothing more than mechanical energy focused on a single task, at the risk of infantilizing its members, who are reduced to passive executors at the behest of those who make the decisions. What the author reminds us is that, in the organisation, people have a potential available that is independent of the forces mobilized in the function to which they are assigned. It is a breeding ground neglected for its apparent lack of relevance. How can we make the most of this breeding ground, to the benefit of the organisation of course, but also to the benefit of the quality of the commitment and the personal project, a fulfillment that will benefit the organisation in return? How can we imagine a humanist model that reintegrates all human creative capacities – art, feelings, love, spiritual life…?”
