"In finite games, like football or chess, the players are known, the rules are fixed, and the endpoint is clear. The winners and losers are easily identified. In infinite games, like business or politics or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable, and there is no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers in an infinite game - there is only ahead and behind. The more I started to understand the difference between finite and infinite games, the more I began to see infinite games all around us. I started to see that many of the struggles that organizations face exist simply because their ... |

През по-голямата част от човешката история медицината не е била професия. Човечеството е оцеляло до днес благодарение на способността си да се самолекува. Хората, привикнали да мислят сложно, гледат на силата на самолечението като на магия, или като нещо прекалено добро, за да е истина. Всеки е роден със силата да се самолекува. Тя следва закона на природата. Китайците резюмирали този природен закон, наричайки го Тао (Пътят). Те вярват, че Тао е първоизточникът на всичко във вселената и че той има различни проявления.
