MAKE POSSIBILITIES HAPPEN How to Transform Ideas into Reality

Principal author Grace Hawthorne presents the chapters of this intelligent guide with appealing assertiveness while a Stanford colleague delivers brief segments with equal authority and charm. Hawthorne's vocal confidence makes these coherent ideas even more arresting among the sea of published advice available on creativity and getting things done. Most interesting is how this advice avoids psychological navel-gazing by focusing on starting and sustaining pertinent action. After convincing listeners that they can train their brains to think expansively, Hawthorne dives into the explicit steps one can take to get projects started and to keep the momentum going when inevitable frustrations and distractions pull one off task. The insights about promoting innovative projects and the hacks that are offered for materializing ideas are priceless. T.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
