I think and feel that the SPIRIT book needs to be at the top of the book-list: circa 1985 right? The current home is....

"...I must warn you, this is a very difficult book." - from the Foreword



It seems like the PDF-books on OST are a category. Here are a few of the links I know of, for convenience (Harold.)

Hello Open Space Community!

Will you help me with some learning resource recommendations for those either new to, or already practicing Open Space? This is to help update some of the book resources we have right now on various Open Space websites.


1) What books/videos/etc. do you know of that reference or teach about Open Space heavily.

2) What books/videos/etc. that don't reference Open Space directly - but never-the-less - have been valuable assets in your Open Space Practice.

3) Optional - a sentence or so about each recommendation?

4) Are you willing to have your words in item 3 listed on an Open Space website - either anonymously, or with your name and a like to a personal website?


This seems like a useful conversation to have on a regular basis - and I'm looking forward to learning about books, CD's, etc. that would be good to have on my reading list. It's also likely your recommendations will go on the Open Space Institute's U.S. website. In the future - hopefully we can turn this into an easy wiki-like system anyone can add to - so it can be a living breathing resource. But for now, we can kick it off with a manual update.

    Thanks!
    Harold
