This book changed my university teaching practices forever. Any teacher, those who volunteer in any way with children and teens, and even parents, can benefits from reading this book. The ideas are so inventive, illuminating, and fun.
Presenting twelve breakthrough practices for bringing creativity into all human endeavors, The Art of Possibility combines Benjamin Zander’s experience as conductor of the Boston Philharmonic and his talent as a teacher and communicator with psychotherapist Rosamund Stone Zander’s genius for designing innovative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. The authors’ harmoniously interwoven perspectives encourage us to life off from that world of struggle and sail into a vast universe of possibility. Through stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the Zanders invite us to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world. Delightful read!
“We perceive only the sensations we are programmed to receive and our awareness is further restricted by the fact that we recognize only those for which we have mental maps or categories. We see a map of the world, not the world itself. It’s all invented anyway, so we might as well invent a story or a framework of meaning that enhances our quality of life and the life of those around us.”
“All the manifestations of the world of measurement are all based on a single assumption that is hidden from our awareness. The assumption is that life is about staying alive and making it through—surviving. There are only so many pieces of the pie. Let us suppose, now, that a universe of possibility stretches beyond the world of measurement to include all worlds, infinite, generative, and abundant. We enter the realm of possibility, where we gain knowledge by invention. The pie is enormous, and if you take a slice, the pie is whole again.”
