Franck Vogel’s new book (176 pages, 18 x 14.5 cm, with 21 black-and-white photographs) is published in France by L’éditeur à part.
Summary: Modernity does more than create value; it also generates crises, emergencies, malaise and a loss of meaning. While many people look for answers by going ever faster and ever further, skirting problems instead of facing them, perhaps it is time to stop.
What if the solution lay not ahead of us, but behind us? And what if it were to be found outside our modern society?
Since 1485, the Bishnois of Rajasthan have been living according to principles of balance between human beings, nature and community. Long before our world began talking about sustainable development or well-being at work, they had understood what truly matters. And they are still putting it into practice today
By following Franck Vogel on an unexpected journey among this extraordinary people, we are invited, gently, to question our certainties about performance, the collective, and the meaning we give to our work. For this book is not a travel narrative, but a concrete and inspiring tool for transformation for all those who lead, support and bring organizations to life.
Running counter to the way we usually imagine innovation, this work opens the way to true modernity: the kind that consists in returning to what is essential.
