Anatomy of a
Self-Organizing
Team
-AjourneythroughtheRabbithole
Let us try to teach generosity and altruism,
because we are born selfish. Let us understand what
our own selfish genes are up to, because we may
then at least have the chance to upset their designs,
something that no other species has ever aspired to
do.
About me!
If we are selfish,
how do we work as
a team?

Art Therapy
The American Art Therapy Association describes art therapy as "a mental
health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and
enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all
ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-
expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop
interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and
self-awareness, and achieve insight."

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill  the story ends, you wake up in your
bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill  you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how
deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I'm offering is the truth  nothing more.
