Book Review #76

I believe the Happiness book I read a while back recommended "The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life" by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander. However, I didn't really get anything out of it. It suffered a lot from the illness of many self-help book - lots of positive ideas but not a clear way to apply any of it to your own life. One of the authors is a classical conductor and the musical metaphors were hard to relate to for a non-classical music person. (I have yet to hear a classical music piece that has brought me to tears, but that seems to be an everyday occurrence in Mr. Zander's life, along with many other transformational moments). As I read this book, I pictured Jack Donaghy reading it. 138 Amazon readers gave this book an average of 4.5 stars.
