Book Reviews of The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life
Book Review: "Possibility thinking" is what we need to develop and promote in all people
Summary: 5 Stars
I first picked up this book casually because I was intrigued by its title, and because I was trying to deal with a number of difficult issues that hit me all in a short space of time. After reading through it, I realized it was not just one more "pop psychology" self-help book--but rather, it is a unique and potentially transformative book. It spoke personally to me and to members of my family (all musicians)--and over the past six months, I have purchased and given more than 20 copies of this book as gifts to friends, family and business colleagues.
The practices in this book are so much needed now by both kids and adults in a time where there's much too much "binary" thinking going on all over the world (and all too often, not even mindful thinking, at that). The examples that both Roz and Benjamin Zander bring from their own practices, especially those of Ben Zander as both a teacher at the New England Conservatory and as music director/conductor of both the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and multiple youth orchestras, are wonderful...and often, inspirational. Anyone who has ever felt limited in their own views of what is possible (and that's just about all of us) can benefit from the stories and practices outlined in this book.
I can't recommend this book highly enough: The best review comment I can give it is that it's the book I wish I had been able to write, but since I didn't, I'll keep giving it to those I work with and care about.
