Life Wisdom Review of the original Harmony hardcover edition (2005) I heard about Patricia Ryan Madson's Improv Wisdom thanks to my being on writer Steven Pressfield's mailing list where a regular feature is "Books I Love". It linked to his original blog post about the book from back in 2009. Although the book is ostensibly about Madson's career long learned experience from teaching theatrical improvisation, the simple rules or phrases that make up her 13-point maxims list are applicable to just about any other activity, whether it is for work or play or just about life itself. 1. Say Yes = be open to new experiences 2. Don’t Prepare = don't be too rigid about how to proceed 3. Just Show Up = be present in the moment 4. Start Anywhere = don't fret about how to start 5. Be Average = don't worry about being fantastic 6. Pay attention = be aware 7. Face the Facts = accept truths 8. Stay on Course = don't be distracted 9. Wake up to the gifts = appreciate everything given 10. Make Mistakes, Please = don't be afraid to fail 11. Act Now = don't wait to start 12. Take Care of Each Other = help others and you will help yourself 13. Enjoy the Ride = enjoy the present moment A lot of this may seem like common sense, but it is just wonderful to have it reinforced in such a straight forward manner filled with anecdotes of Madson's life experiences and teaching moments. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In an irresistible invitation to lighten up, look around, and live an unscripted life, a master of the art of improvisation explains how to adopt the attitudes and techniques used by generations of musicians and actors. Let's face it: Life is something we all make up as we go along. No matter how carefully we formulate a "script," it is bound to change when we interact with people with scripts of their own. Improv Wisdom shows how to apply the maxims of improvisational theater to real-life challenges--whether it's dealing with a demanding boss, a tired child, or one of life's never-ending surprises. Patricia Madson distills thirty years of experience into thirteen simple strategies, including "Say Yes," "Start Anywhere," "Face the Facts," and "Make Mistakes, Please," helping readers to loosen up, think on their feet, and take on everything life has to offer with skill, chutzpah, and a sense of humor.

I read this just before a 36 hour hackathon, which was the perfect testing ground for the maxims in this book. ( )
