Product Description
Presenting twelve breakthrough practices for bringing creativity into all human endeavors, The Art of Possibility is the dynamic product of an extraordinary partnership.

The author must have had either est Training or Landmark training since many of the concepts, wording, and the way is presented is based on this training.

I can only imagine spending time with this couple. Perhaps, say, meeting them at a dinner party. The conversation goes something like this:
Rosamund: “Tell me about yourself.”
Guest: “Well, I was born in Boston.”
Rosamund: “Now, put that in the context of ME.”
Guest: “Well, you live in the Boston area.”
Rosamund: “That’s right. I’ve got my act together. In fact, I’ve got my act together more than anyone else in Boston.”
Benjamin: “Well, let’s talk about me in Boston. I conduct kids orchestras.”
Rosamund: “That’s right, that allows us to pronounce general platitudes about life, management, love, and self esteem.”
Benjamin: “You know, I wasn’t always this perfect.”
Rosamund: “Benjamim, shut up. I asked our guest to put his comments in the context of ME.”
This was one of the most useless and unbearable books I’ve ever read. I kept reading, to the bitter end, just to see if it stayed as bad as it started. It did.
What a waste of paper and ink. Rating: 1 / 5
Ugh. How much of this Werner Erhard inspired sludge will we have to endure before the whole disgusting mess either dissipates or compacts down into an easily disposed of loaf? Familiar to any cult-watcher, the buzz words spill freely here. They are words and concepts that can mean anything to anybody. Fuzzy, new-age pap which the authors unashamedly admit come from the culty, self-improvement seminar called Landmark Education which used to be Erhard’s “est.”
Sad to say, many Landmark devotees are encouraged by their participation to “create” endless testimonials reflective of their own egos, swelled to megalomaniacal proportions by various psychological tricks and techniques, and the Landmark Corporation by proxy. “Spreading the word” is part and parcel of the whole trip. Keep a shovel handy. Rating: 1 / 5
This book is fantastic for anyone on a self-discouvery journey. One should look for books like this and people like Zander for help through life. Reading a book can’t do any harm, and reading this one has done good for so many people. I strongly suggest it. Rating: 5 / 5
This book was ordered as used. Was in perfect condition, arrived in a very short amount of time. Couldn’t be more pleased and would order from this firm again. Rating: 5 / 5
