The Art of Possibility

This book belongs at the TOP of your reading stack

There’s just never enough time in the day to get through all the books in that stack beside my bed, but every so often I come across one that moves me so much, that it in turn deserves to be moved to the top of that stack.

“The Art of Possibility” by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander is one of those books.

This book is part philosophy, part creativity, part business coaching, and part common sense. It shares stories of a world of possibilities if only we shift our focus — it’s not even a BIG shift — just small things anyone can do to dramatically improve not only their lives, but the lives of those with whom we interact.

Each chapter begins with an outline of that section’s idea, moves into stories demonstrating that concept from both Rosamund and Benjamin, and then closes with ways to put the concept into action. My favorites so far are “Give Everyone an A”, “Rule #6”, and “BTFI”. My thanks to the Zanders for giving us a book that not only deserves to be at the top of everyone’s reading stack, but deserves to be slipped right back into the stack to begin its cycle back to my hands to read again and again.

Do yourself (and the the world around you) a favor, and go get a copy of this excellent book.

Soar like an Eagle. Run like an Ostrich.

Eagles are cool. People are always talking about soaring with them (soaring is even a cooler word when used in conjunction with eagles.) The eagle is majestic airborne creature whose is used to represent our country and appears in a lot of government buildings, on most of our currency, and is cast for use in numerous medals, […]

Third Time is a Charm?

Movies based on Marvel comic book heroes seem to have two options: Super HERO (Spiderman, Iron Man, Blade) and Super ZERO (Daredevil, Hulk, Ghost Rider.) Another trend is that the movies that start out great get lamer as they go along (Spidey 3 SUCKED) and those that start out bad get better (Punisher 2 — […]
