Through inspiring stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the Zanders invite us to become passionate communicators, leaders, and artists whose lives radiate possibilities to the world.
The Art of Possibility Review
Rosamund Stone Zander is a family therapist and Benjamin Zander is the director of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, whom Morley Safer called “the energizing bunny of classical music” when he was described by 60 Minutes. So what are this ex-husband and wife doing writing a book for the Harvard Business School? Benjamin is actually a popular raffle on the motivational seminar circuit. In his talks, he uses music and direction as symbols for creativity and leadership, and he often ends a presentation with an exciting group “Ode to Joy.” Rather than emitting well-worn nostrils like “thinking outside the box,” the couple warns that “incremental changes that lead to new ways of doing things based on old beliefs” will not lead to transformation. The change they prescribe requires nothing less than a “total change in posture, perceptions, beliefs, and thought processes.” They use the arts, their own multifaceted experiences, and their boundless energy to show how renewal can take place.
