not just about music
Revisado: 10-20-16
I wasn't expecting that the insights of these book were not just about music but about art as a whole. The motivations, the forms, the materials, the containers and the processes behind the production of art are well explained by Byrne and well read by Garman

Creativity, Inc. is a manual for anyone who strives for originality and the first-ever all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and “Braintrust” sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about creativity - but it is also, as Pixar cofounder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible”.

Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their successes over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why.

One of the most significant books ever written by a head of state, the Meditations are a collection of philosophical thoughts by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180 ce). Covering issues such as duty, forgiveness, brotherhood, strength in adversity and the best way to approach life and death, the Meditations have inspired thinkers, poets and politicians since their first publication more than 500 years ago. Today, the book stands as one of the great guides and companions - a cornerstone of Western thought.

Joseph Jaworski, the son of famed Watergate special prosecutor Leon Jaworski, uses his own experiences and the latest studies to create a new concept of leadership. Instead of focusing on numbers, reports, and other inanimate objects, Jaworski encourages leaders and managers to look at the world primarily through relationships. Allowing life to flow through us, instead of despite us, he explains, will break organizations free from self-imposed or institutional limits, fostering an atmosphere of learning and top performance.

Great story, amateurish narrator and recording
Revisado: 07-25-13
What made the experience of listening to Synchronicity the most enjoyable?
the ideas are intrinsic inside the story, it does not feel like a lecturer, it feels like a mentor.
How could the performance have been better?
the recording was noisy and the narrator did not have an optimal flow while reading.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes

Carl Jung defined the phenomenon of “synchronicity” as “a collaboration between persons and events that seems to enlist the cooperation of fate.” Joseph Jaworski posits you can take advantage of synchronicity, creating the conditions for “predictable miracles” versus being reactionary and a victim of circumstances. Instead of focusing on numbers, reports, and other inanimate objects, Jaworski encourages leaders and managers to look at the world primarily through relationships.
