About the book
The Authentic Shift - Inner Development for a Changing World
The Authentic Shift - Inner Development for a Changing World
As the world becomes increasingly complex and turbulent, it is clear we are facing a paradigm shift. Not only a technological shift, but also a shift in consciousness and leadership. To match the external acceleration, we need to grow faster than ever within ourselves.
In The Authentic Shift, Carl Lindeborg condenses twenty years of experience in developing leaders and supporting organisations to manage change. In this practical guidebook, he outlines the ‘keys’ that lead to the next paradigm and the inner resources that will help you navigate powerfully and successfully into the future.
The Authentic Shift is also available in Swedish.
A sustainable transformation of the world will be much more difficult unless people can find themselves and be guided by good values. In his book The Authentic Shift, Carl Lindeborg provides concrete tools for this journey. Examples from science, philosophy and his own long career are combined with concrete exercises in a book that never gets boring.

Reflection Workbook
The Authentic Shift is a practical guidebook that contains many reflection questions that help you clarify and deepen your thoughts. To make it easier for you as a reader, we have created the Reflection Workbook as a complement. Here you will find all reflection questions, chapter by chapter.
For each question there is space to write down your reflections. It can be about thoughts, feelings, sensations, insights or intentions. This provides a structure for your inner work and it becomes easier to find and return to previous reflections as you move further forward through the book.
If you turn over the reflection book, you will find room for "free flow". Here you can express anything to yourself, just like in a journal – for example, how you feel on a certain day, what you have learned, what you wish for or what step you will take next.
Reflection Workbook is also available in Swedish.
