By: Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander

Narrated by: Benjamin Zander, Rosamund Stone Zander

Presenting twelve breakthrough practices for bringing creativity into all human endeavors, The Art of Possibility is the dynamic product of an extraordinary partnership.

Through uplifting stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the Zanders invite us to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world.

Critic reviews

“Both [Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander] speak with a slow-paced and humble clarity that is the perfect vehicle for their Buddha-like wisdom…With its touching anecdotes and classical background music, this is a superbly rendered program on some of the most up-to-date and inspiring personal growth ideas of our generation.” —<i>AudioFile Magazine, winner of AudioFile Earphones Award</i>

I listened straight through

The stories of humanity, grace and hope, along with the music and the voices of the authors, stirred a variety of emotions in my heart & spirit in such a unique way. I am transformed for having listened and look forward to listening to it again and again. The message in this book is a gift and the experience in audio book format a special treat!

Well presented

What made the experience of listening to The Art of Possibility the most enjoyable?

Alternating between the authors was far more engaging than a single voice. Being narrated by the authors also gave more authenticity.

Any additional comments?

The language would be considered sexist now. Using the female as the generic pronoun for all people was encouraged in some fields in the 1990s, but is discouraged because it is sexist.

Ideal book for audible and anyone

This is an absolutely perfect book to listen via audio. I love everything about it from the story to the music and the lessons learned. Very highly recommended.

great for people who want to improve

great to have a book that you can listen to and still have a fresh look after you read it

Design Your Own Stage

A masterpiece. I discovered new possibility in not only my life but also in music I had played for years simply by listening for the long line. No change was more dramatic for me than rediscovering Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata played in a way that truly surprised me, joyfully. If you will listen openly there are new possibilities for you here too.
