Product Description
“This really is a remarkable book. It does for human resources what Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring did for the environment. It makes you wonder why we insist on sustaining an education system that is narrow, partial, entirely inappropriate for the 21st century and deeply destructive of human potential when human beings have so much latent creative ability to offer. A brilliant analysis.” Wally Olins, Founder, Wolff-Olins “Competitive advantage does not come from the Internet. It comes from leveraging creativity . All corporate leaders should read this book.” Professor Richard Scase, author, Britain in 2010 “I thoroughly recommend this excellent book. Developing our latent creative ability is vital for personal and professional success. Ken Robinson gives us the signposts we need to achieve this.” Sir John Harvey Jones “If you would like to start to unlock the inherent creativity that exists in every human being (including you), then start (you have to) by… More >>

Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his game. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at the age of nine, Waitzkin was catapulted into a media whirlwind as a teenager when his father’s book Searching for Bobby Fischer was made into a major motion picture. After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? “I’ve come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess,” he says. “What I am best at is the art of learning.”In his riveting new book, The Art of Learning, Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top — twice.With a narrative that combines heart-stopping mar… More >>

Sunlight is beginning to spill across the Malibu coastline as I begin this Preface. And the deep indigo tint of the Pacific Ocean at this time of the morning seems to match the depth of pleasure I’m feeling as I’m imagining the value you’re about to receive from the revelations within this book. Ask and It Is Given is certainly a book about our ”asking” being answered by All-That-Is. But it’s primarily about how whatever we’re asking for is being given to us – and it’s also the first book to ever, in such clear terminology, give us the simple practical formula for how to ask for, and then how to receive, whatever we want to be, do, or have. Decades ago, while searching for plausible answers to my never-ending quest to know what ”It” is all about, I discovered the word ineffable (meaning ”incapable of being expressed in words”). Ineffable coincided with a conclusion I’d formed relative to It. I had decided that the closer we get to knowing the ”Non-P… More >>
