Tango:Dance of Self-Discovery - Fun & Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships & Soulful Living [Spiral-bound]

Book Description

Publication Date: February 18, 2000

As we cross into a new millennium, we're experiencing a major shift in how we make our lives count. We see how our safe, predicitable structures (belief systems, government, management, etc.) fail to deal with the fast pace of life. We feel awkward. So we resolve to work harder..do more with less. But that distracts us from our true purpose. It takes us away from who we are.

We no longer need the old Newtonian linear approach that relies on external structures to make us feel secure. It is time to move inside and listen to our internal belief systems for safety and begin to follow our heart's unique rhythm.

As we lead from our own ideals rather than responding to outside influences we learn the dance of self-discovery. We dance the Tango--the perfect exlixir for our trying times.

We learn to develop a new relationship with time and begin to see it as our friend and partner not our problem. Through this fun and provocative playbook we design a vision for our future, look at what we believe in, where we need to grow to reach our dreams and learn to savor the journey through life each day. We learn from the dance of Tango that we are always connected and we can dance through life with grace and a touch of elegance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not about Tango at all, October 23, 2001

This review is from: Tango:Dance of Self-Discovery - Fun & Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships & Soulful Living (Spiral-bound)

This is a very interesting book if you need to develop a personal philosophy and i would guess writing it did Katherine Carol a pile of good.It can be a bit cheesy and most of the material has been used many times by psychologists. The format is good.
My beef is that she used the word Tango. Sometimes she uses the analogy of the dance but always so obliquely that you wonder why she bothered. It would certainly fox a few readers who had never danced Tango. As an avid Tanguero, I had hoped this book might widen my insight into the dance. Sadly, not a word. There is nothing in the book that would interest anyone who has arrived at it by a trawl through Tango book references. Not a fraud. A misnomer

5.0 out of 5 stars Tango:Dance of Self Discovery, April 3, 2000

Donna Sabecky (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tango:Dance of Self-Discovery - Fun & Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships & Soulful Living (Spiral-bound)

As a President of a mid-sized company, I found this book to be inspiring as well as practical. In particular, I found the exercises to be very helpful. I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands but I was able to go through the book a page or a chapter at a time, put it down, and pick it up again without skipping a beat. I highly recommend it to corporate executives, as well as lay staff.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN AWESOME TOOL FOR LIFE PLANNING!, March 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tango:Dance of Self-Discovery - Fun & Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships & Soulful Living (Spiral-bound)

Katherine Carol knows her stuff! Tango Dance of Self-Discovery is a fun and practical way to "dance" yourself through the sometimes difficult task of evaluating and creating goals for your life. Unlike other planning tools Tango ... gave me actual examples of how to get started, stay focused and ultimately acheive life goals. I have used this tool with amazing results. It is truly a life altering experience. I highly recommend this book. Thanks Katherine for sharing your gifts!
