Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Try smelling crayons without thinking of your childhood, says the author, who, with many such exercises, offers a stunning lesson on how to loosen up. Crisply read by the incomparable Edward Lewis, this production is at once scholarly, prescriptive, and just plain fun. The program offers astute ideas, especially in the kinesthetic realm, about how spontaneity can help organizations overcome communication and problem-solving blocks. The inviting and playful exercises break people out of unproductive patterns and can turn around adversarial situations. This well-done lesson offers great tools for getting organizations out of their ruts, shaking up old routines, and confronting inner blocks that prevent growth.

Review
"I admire the skills of someone good at improvisational theatre. Now thanks to Robert Lowe and this new book, I can go behind the scenes and learn how to further develop those desirable skills of quick thinking and spontaneity in myself as well as those I train. Thank you, Robert." (Dave Arch, author, senior training consultant, Creative Training Techniques International)

"The creativity and playfulness of improvisation opens up vast possibilities for business, and Robert Lowe shows the way second to none." (Dr. Ginny Whitelaw, author, BodyLearning, How the Mind Learns from the Body: A Practical Approach)

"Organizations perform below their potential because of poor communications, unchallenged traditions, misunderstandings of the facts, procrastination, bureaucracy, avoiding the unattractive, and disbelief. This book shows effective, fun ways to release the natural talent that everyone has to help overcome these harmful stalls, both as individuals and as a group." (Donald Mitchell, chairman, Mitchell and Company, coauthor, The 2,000 Percent Solution)

"Not only very enjoyable to read, but a necessary training tool. Lowe's "Improvisational" method of thinking is how the new generation of business people will deal with one another. This book is worth reading." (Emory Mulling, president, The Mulling Group)
