Beginning with an examination of how our current digital age is negatively affecting our cognitive lives and overall intelligence, Toward a Holistic Intelligence then explores how an intelligence based on direct insight, one which germinates from our sensorial and emotive lives, might provide a possible solution.
Toward a Holistic Intelligence: Life on the Other Side of the Digital Barrier is a critical examination of how the Internet, our current digital age, and people’s continuous use of digital devices is adversely affecting their thought processes, working memories, attention spans, and overall level of intelligence. In doing so, it explores how a larger intelligence based primarily on direct insight and creative absorption, qualities which are integrally part of people’s emotive and sensorial lives, might allow for a clearer exploration of their world and themselves at a time in which our cognitive lives are being so thoroughly abrogated by the Internet and its resultant technologies.

After founding and directing his own democratically run school for children ages six to fourteen for twelve years, one that received widespread attention in the Chicago area as a unique approach to education, Lyn Lesch went on to write four books on education reform. In 2020, he published Intelligence in the Digital Age, which concerns how our current Internet age might be making it increasingly difficult for people to explore a more expansive consciousness.
