The Art of Possibility

Date: October 22, 2009

I rarely make recommendations on books but I'm making one now: The Art of Possibility by Rosalund and Benjamin Zander. It is a tremendous book about twelve "life practices" that are both brilliant and inspirtational.

You may have seen Ben Zander's TEDtalks presentation about "one-buttock playing" - this is more of the same brilliance.

Here's what one Amazon reviewer had to say about it:

Benjamin Zander is the conductor of The Boston Philharmonic and is well known for his orchestra's passionate performances. Rosamund Stone Zander is an executive coach, family therapist, and private practitioner who brings enormous psychological perspective to enhancing human behavior. They have written a fascinating book in which they alternate as voices in sharing principles and examples in the form of compelling stories.

Check it out.
