Most inspirational book in 15 years!

I seldom read a book more than once but this is an exception. I've read The Art of Possibility once a year since first reading it and come away with something new each time. The best of coaching and positive psychology, this book is inspirational. If you don't come away smiling and looking forward to getting up in the morning, check your pulse! I recently gave copies to four graduates of an Executive MBA program who raved about the book.
The Art of Possibiity should be required reading for high school students, in fact, for everyone!

No change without leadership

There is no change without leadership at all levels. This book is a good introduction into the principles of transformational leadership. Creating Possibilities for others such that they are touched moved and inspired. The leadership theory is based on leading oneself not others and focuses on who you are being not what you are doing. This is not a book about manipulative Machiavellian techniques rather it's about creating free choice for others where they are inspired by the possibility you have created.

This possibility is one everybody needs

I saw Ben Zander speak - inspiring to say the least. Then I bought 20 copies to share with my friends and co-workers. I think the advice in this book is pertinent to everybody regarless their vocation. The sage advice Rosa and Ben give to the reader gives one the opportunity to change their outlook on life and interactions with others without having to discover it on their own over many years. I think this should be required reading for all students and professionals. The world would be a much nicer place.

The Art of Possibility

I would recommend this book to anyone in a leadership position. It is not only inspiring, but practical. It offers insights into effective communication.

A personal growth book for the nearly-jaded

I've been reading books for years now that are designed to inspire and lead one toward personal growth in relationships, in the workplace, in life in general. I'm a junkie for this kind of book, and therefore I've become somewhat jaded as well, never really expecting anything new but always hoping. What a delight, therefore, to be utterly surprised by THE ART OF POSSIBILITY. This book delivers! The Zanders' approach is revolutionary, shining real light amongst the plethora of jingoistic motivational books that abound these days. There is nothing self-centered or bumper stickerish or rah-rah cheerleady in this book. It has real depth, it never skims the surface or lets us off the hook. Benjamin is conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. Rosamund is a painter and therapist. They bring their stunning creativity and imagination into real life -- their lives -- and show us how we, too, can compose and conduct our lives, paint our future. It's an exciting book, one that I've now read three times and underlined and highlighted and excerpted onto sticky notes for my computer and mirror and calendar. No wonder they are being called on to speak to leading business and professional groups.
