[OSList] Books!

Sat Aug 29 14:57:51 PDT 2015

Hello Everyone,

While it's not a book, and I don't think I saw it among the wonderful list of resources, is Harrison's TEDx talk:

Dancing with Shiva http://youtu.be/APD7oQ3xrSA

In fact, I don't see any videos mentioned yet.  I'm sure there must be others among the plethora of online resources!

Warmest regards,  

Robyn

>>> 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.
