Stage Yellow Book Recommendations

[stephenkettley]

Hey guys, hope everyone is well! I want to start reading a little bit of stage yellow style topics, just to start introducing my mind to it more gradually as I develop (still mostly orange and green for sure) and I wanted to know if anyone has some good books that would be a great place to start?

That's a great question! I'm also interested in learning more about this.

Check out Leo’s and Daniel Schmactenberger’s Book Lists. Enough gold in them to last you a decade.

If you wanna start , besides  Don Beck's books on Spiral Dynamics, and Ken Wilber's books on Integral Theory, which is A MUST at this stage. I'll recommend:

Finite and Infinite Games - James P. Carse:

very good for folks transitioning from vMEME Green to vMEME Yellow

 

The Fifth Discipline - Peter M. Senge:

 very good intro to Systems Thinking 

 

(Optional)Philosophical Investigations- Ludwig Wittgenstein:

A very good and thought provoking book on the arbitrary nature of language, you don't necessarily need to read this one, but I highly recommend it, it will help you question some of your paradigms, will allow you to access the thinking process of vMEME Yellow, and his teaching style is very beginner friendly . So I think it might help you a lot😉

"Sapiens" and  " The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" are very good intro books as well😊

Another stage Yellow+ page in how to heal trauma and the nervous system in general in a responsible thorough way that is very different from the narrow magic-pills-like techniques many (stage green?) mentors fall into:

I am currently reading Ken Wilber's "Integral Life Practice." His books are so damn expensive, and I'm still unsure what to think about the content.

Have you read the religion of tomorrow by ken Wilber ? 

[WillCameron]

In order of importance:

• Brendan Graham Dempsey - Metamodernism: Or, the Cultural Logic of Cultural Logics
• Gregg Henriques - A New Synthesis for Solving the Problem of Psychology
• Bobby Azarian - The Romance of Reality
• John Vervaeke - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis (lecture series on youtube, but still)
• Layman Pascal - Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds
• Iain McGilchrist - The Master and His Emissary
• Iain McGilchrist - The Matter With Things
• Zak Stein - Education in a Time Between Worlds

Some of these are arguably turquoise, but I think the quest for turquoise is pointless for the vast majority here. Focus on Yellow because that'll be the next 5-10 years of your life and on the way you might stumble into turquoise.

Sapiens and guns, Germs and steel are nonsense, read dawn of everything and why nations fail instead.
