Insightful

This book provides an pracical advice that can be used in everyday situations. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories and examples in the book and anticipate this book will rival some of the classic "self help" books.

Practical & innovative

A fun, thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial read

As the president of my own technology-related business, I found the need to keep ahead of the technology curve (and the ability to think one step ahead of the competition) quickly becoming a matter of survival. As a result, I decided to read this book.Mike Rosenberg has hit on a topic that is becoming more and more talked about in the last few years; the ability to think outside the box. All good and well, but just exactly how do you do that? By exploring his own dramatic and creative background, Rosenberg manages to tie the skills he learned in acting school (mostly creativity and improvisational skills) and adapt them to the business world, where they are suprisingly needed and effective. Rosenberg helps average people discover new thought paths and ways of looking at problems they might not have explored on their own. By using real-world examples, amusing anecdotes, and skill building exercises, readers learn how to become more creative and original thinkers in their own lives. The book is extremely well written and readable, something that Rosenberg candidly admits in the book's preface is due in a large part to his wife, and applying his own books advice.You'll find that after you read the book, you'll begin to see your problems (and as a result, options) more as creative tests and needed challenges. After all, this is where innovation is born. This book helped me to see situations like these in a new light: not as the insurmountable obstacles they had at times presented themselves as but as a chance to innovate, create, and in turn, become a better organization. A fun, thought provoking and thoroughly original read. I hope we hear more from Mr. Rosenberg soon.
