Overview

How can we transform society in a way that unleashes its positive, creative potentials, instead of its violent, destructive ones? Unlearn shows how we can tackle today’s systemic crisis by acknowledging its deep roots. By going on a journey of unlearning, as individuals and collectively, we have the potential to become someone else – a process that redefines how we see ourselves, and thus reshapes our common future. Hanno Burmester works at the intersection of societal, organisational and individual transformation. With his company Unlearn, he helps companies transform towards cultures of self-organisation. As Policy Fellow at the Berlin-based think tank Das Progressive Zentrum, Hanno designs, writes and facilitates around the future of democracy. Hanno is host of the Unlearning Journey.

"Unlearn intertwines the political and the personal, the individual and society, the past and the future. It enables us to take fresh perspectives on today's existential challenges, and thus deserves many readers. Tomas Bjoerkman, author of The World We Create and founder of the Ekskaret Foundation Worldwide we are approaching a much-needed learning revolution which calls for a better understanding of what ""unlearning"" is. With a simplicity ""on the far side of complexity"", this book offers a refreshingly clear, concise and coherent compass for navigating the transformative journey interwoven together as individuals, organizations, and societies. Aftab Omer, President, Meridian University What is freedom and self-determination? How do individuals and society relate to one another in the western world? Hanno Burmester wrote the book on the actual crisis of the western world without it being a Corona book and shows above all what one has to unlearn in order to advance oneself and society. Prof. Maximilian Benz, University of Bielefeld Unlearn integrates perspectives we have become used to dividing: the I, the We, and the World. It is a systemic book, nudging its readers towards reconsidering their position within the greater environment. It challenges us to push and expand the boundaries of everyday discourse. Dr. Bernd Schmid, Founder, Institute for Systemic Consulting, Wiesloch I was deeply moved when I read this book. It is provoking, intense, passionate - a timely deep dive into how personal and societal transformation are interconnected. Uffe Elbaek, Member of the Danish Parliament This is a bold book, offering an integral perspective on transformation as a deeply human challenge. It is intellectually challenging, yet grounded in practice and deep personal experience. Highly recommended! Prof. Patrizia Nanz, Vice President, BASE"
