A Call for Conscious Changes to Counter COVID-19.

Unlabelled: This article lays out the contours of a novel approach to social change and interactions, based on the organic interplay of individuals, institutions, countries and the global society. This approach is based on the POZE paradigm, which posits that change starts inside and is nurtured from the outside in - both for individuals and for durable social change. Such a holistic perspective is crucial to build society as it emerges from the Pandemic.

Perspectives - Social Change from the Inside Out. From Fixation to Foundation. From Competition to Change.

After a brief overview of the author's journey as a humanitarian and researcher, this article offers an introduction in the why, how, and what of a new multidisciplinary paradigm to understand (and improve) human behavior at the individual and collective levels called POZE. The logic of POZE underpins five books that appear at Palgrave/Springer in 2020/21. It is based on the understanding that human existence results from four dimensions, soul, heart, mind, and body, which find their expression in aspirations, emotions, thoughts, and sensations.
