Description
Kokoro: The Personal Wisdom App, is an interactive AI-enabled way to transform your personal life and develop powerful wisdom along with integral resilience.
In the 21st century Wisdom is in short supply and its pursuit has sadly fallen out of fashion. Yet, the crises we face at all levels—personal, professional, organizational, communal, and planetary—urgently demand that we think and act in new and imaginative ways. How to guide and temper the brilliance of our Minds by the Wisdom of the Heart? The purpose of Kokoro is to awaken this critical connection.
3 Questions:
• What if all of humanity’s and Nature’s treasure trove can instantly be available to address your most urgent personal challenges and questions?
• What will happen when the creative energies of small groups are joined with the foresight, steadiness, good judgement, and compassion of the Heart?
• How many of these dedicated groups are required to reach an evolutionary tipping point?
Kokoro is a plea for wisdom, beauty, and hope in an Age of Balance.
Please note: Kokoro—The Awakening App is the first in a three part series focusing on personal, enterprise, and communal wisdom. After beta testing of these apps in October-November 2024, these will be launched in December 2024 as part of the TANDO-Gaiapolis 1000 Climate Corps Leaders Initiative. Subscribers will earn points toward Certification under this program.
Resilience and interdependence are thus not luxuries but core life-preserving competencies over which we have a far greater control than we imagine. I understand that many people today are feeling helpless, burned out, and despairing.
You can track and measure your progress in developing greater wisdom and resilience. And the great wonder is to look and to see what can happen beneficially in the “outer” or “external” world, when we and our community cultivate these “inner” powers. In this sense the cultivation of resilience resembles an “inner” martial art.
The old and tired ways of thinking and acting are obviously not serving us well in meeting today’s challenges. We still have time to learn from the past, to cultivate evolutionary values, and most importantly, to befriend Nature as our primary source of beauty, wisdom, and vitality in helping us to chart the path ahead.
Acclaim for Julian’s work:
“Julian Gresser’s work shows with insight, style and imagination how integrity, that most fundamental of human virtues, continues to be vital to success, and even survival, in the ongoing negotiation of life in our rapidly changing world. The added value in Piloting Through Chaos is the author’s suggestions on how integrity can be cultivated by conscious thought and action, and on how core integrity can affect outcomes in a variety of contexts.”
– Peter L. Murray, Visiting Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
“The market is flooded with books and tapes about negotiating, but no one, until now, offers insight into the underlying essence of our interpersonal abilities. This fresh approach, if followed, can be transforming for us as individuals, and as a nation.”
– Claudine Schneider, Former U.S. Congresswoman
“Julian is 100% invested in teaching; an active listener; dedicated to ensuring that the class learns; he is high in energy and empathetic. What would my comments be to future participants? Exciting; out-of-the-box; has life application; fundamental to all relationships.”
– Bobbie Busha, Manager, BellSouth
“We need a cultural revolution as transformative as were the scientific and industrial revolutions. If human culture is to survive without unacceptable impacts on the planetary environment, we must live differently as a culture. This means that the arts and humanities are on the front lines of collaborating with scientists and engineers, we need a ‘second renaissance.’ Julian Gresser, in the second edition of “Piloting through Chaos,” presents a sharply focused methodology for attacking some of the urgent problems and seizing the new opportunities.”
– Roger Malina, Editor, Leonardo
“Julian Gresser is one of those rarest of teachers. He embodies the wisdom that he shares. His pioneering work in negotiation is a quantum leap in human understanding and will move people to their highest level of truth and accomplishment. The value is incalculable, not only to individuals, but to our society.”
– Michael Fitzgerald, Former Director, Washington State Department of Trade & Economic Development
“There is widespread agreement that leadership at any level and in any area requires integrity in the person, the practice, and the profession. It is also clear that this is no easy, simple task, nor can it remain at the mercy of luck, sentimental or institutional formation. Julian Gresser – lawyer, scholar, martial artist, and street-smart practitioner – now makes available the teaching and achievement of integrity in its integral form. As a foundation president, former commissioner, ambassador, and university president, I have had occasion to enlist Julian’s remarkable system and energies. He/it is a godsend for our troubled times and leaders.”
– Dr. Glen A. Olds, U.S. Ambassador to UNESCO
