Description

You have big dreams and yearn to live a purposeful life, but it's hard to stay inspired in today's polarized world. The headlines make you want to dive under the covers and the discord threatens your faith in humanity. Climate change, immigration, healthcare, addiction--how are we supposed to address the world's biggest problems when we can't even talk to each other?

In this turbulent time, when loneliness, fear, blame, disconnection, powerlessness, and polarization are the norm, there is hope. All of these are actually signals that we're in the midst of a major shift in consciousness.

You've sensed this change and know that you're called to do something more, to live a higher purpose. But what to do? You know that lighting a candle or commenting on Facebook isn't going to cut it.

The Change Code is the roadmap for this new world, showing what's possible.

As you will learn in this book, you are capable of far more than you realize.

In the 1970s, scientist Clare Graves developed a groundbreaking model for human change and development. Spiral Dynamics (a.k.a. the "Change Code") reveals and explains the underlying pattern for human and societal change. It has since been used around the world in some of humanity's most difficult conflicts--including ending apartheid in South Africa. And it's incredibly applicable in our times today.

When you read The Change Code, you'll:

  • predict (more accurately) what changes will happen next,
  • have tools to improve your life and the lives of others, radically,
  • discover your own developmental path and purpose,
  • create a clear, focused vision for your future and the world,
  • find inspiring ways to serve that actually make a difference,
  • better understand and be able to communicate with others, integrate the best parts of their ideas with your own, and develop bold new solutions,
  • become an Agent for Change and help shift our world

Reviews

"My grandfather, Mahatma Gandhi, believed as long as we live in fear we will never be truly free. We are afraid of change because we are afraid of insecurity. Yet change is the only way we will save humanity from certain disaster. The Change Code Book will help you understand why change is necessary and how to achieve it. An excellent read."

"In a time of distraction and disconnection, The Change Code offers hope and direction.
Monica Bourgeau has compiled a brilliant body of work that addresses challenges on every
level-- from the discontent individual to the struggling corporation, and certainly employs
strategies that can be applied on a global scale. Well written and smartly executed, I highly
recommend everyone read this wise and timely book!"
TAMARA DORRIS, MA author of Imagine That! and Mind Over Matter

"The Change Code provides a unique look into Humanity's Master Code. It provides a practical application for Graves' theory in reducing polarization and managing today's complex and turbulent times.

Rather than single theories of change or single universal one size fits all solutions, the focus is natural design, forms, admixtures, and blends to function, fit and flow. It's what the world needs now, and The Change Code brings it to life."

and Spiral Dynamics in Action


"The perspective that this book shares is critical to the successful navigation of a very uncertain
future. Read it and take responsibility!"

"Monica's work is a refreshing reminder of the power of human creativity. This book, and the associated materials, adds a valuable contribution to the Gravesian lineage. Use this work to reveal and work with the deeper codes of humanness as together we make the trapeze-like leap towards a new era."

Christopher Cooke

"BRAVO! I've continued to reflect upon this insightful work, which means this book is effective.
I found myself thinking about my personal and professional experiences going through
these colors. This book is a helpful guide for any Change Agent looking to better understand
and communicate with individuals representing different colors. Watch for the gems of
wisdom woven throughout."
