A novel for the business world
Glenn has written his first novel, a story about life and leadership, and about the value of the I Ching as a source of guidance and wisdom. When our focus is on the importance of ethics, we are addressing the question that Peter Singer phrased as "how ought we to live?"
But the question of how to live ethically evolves into a broader question. Piero Ferrucci articulated this question as "what is the most that we may be?" The I Ching recognises that these questions arrive together, and we need to address both.
The Ten Thousand Things: A story of the lived experience of the I Ching tells a story that takes us into the heart of the I Ching and its universal values. The story takes place in a country town, where a man assumes the position of leader of a community-based organisation that faces collapse. Lacking experience, he learns as he goes, using his intelligence and passion, and the guidance of the I Ching. He manages to build the organisation into a dynamic service provider for local people.
But then he finds himself under attack, and it seems as if all his achievements will be destroyed. In the thick of the hostilities, the I Ching calls him to be his best self.
Glenn wrote the book in just one month, November, 2009, as part of National Novel Writing Month (NanoWrimo). The book is published by GP Martin and was released in February 2010.
