Extended conversations have ensured from the reading of William Bergquist’s Dancing Between the Raindrops: Polystatis, Character and the Psychodynamics of Anticipation in a VUCA-Plus World. This book is now available as a free, digital download.
As conveyed in the lengthy sub-title of this book, Bergquist has extended his description of the dynamic Polystatic process that he first introduced in several earlier publications.
Bergquist relates the feedback-based process of Polystasis specifically to the way human beings (and virtually all sentient mammals) operate via anticipation of what they believe is about to occur in their environment. It is in the ongoing act of anticipation that we can dance between the raindrops of a mid-21st century world filled with the conditions of VUCA-Plus: volatility (V), uncertainty (U), complexity (C), and ambiguity (A), alongside turbulence and contradiction (Plus).
As the third in a series of four books that apply political psychology to the challenges of our time, Dancing Between the Raindrops has proven to be both provocative and timely.
