On dialogue
`During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, television, air travel and satellites has woven a network of communications which puts each part of the world into almost instant contact with all the other parts. Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at every moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.'[Bohm]The question of how we can communicate better is at the heart of On Dialogue. This is the most comprehensive documentation to date of best-selling author David Bohm's dialogical world view.

What Hacker News says
- David Bohm's
- Thought as a System
- On Dialogue
These are great books for removing mental fog, confusion, about the nature of our existence. They have great healing value, allowing us to integrate the world around and within us. They can also help in dealing with practical challenges in how we run organisations, develop teams, and in general help people cooperate together. It is a kind of "red pill" to enter the matrix :)
- I can't recommend 'On Dialogue' [0] enough. I try to always keep a few copies around to give away. 'Wholeness and the Implicate Order' is also great.
As Werner Herzog says, 'Read! Read as much as you can!'

- We (the David Bohm Society) released a website on Bohm Dialogue this year:
On Dialogue is an excellent book. However, to really understand Bohm's vision of dialogue you would need to look at more than just that book. His work on dialogue is not separate from his explorations into the origin of human conflict.
- The related book, David Bohm's 'On Dialogue' [0] is short, fantastic and very much worth reading. I recommend it highly.
For those not aware of Bohm (although he's covered in the linked article) he's, well, a pretty incredible guy [1].
