Book SynopsisTo help readers experience a whole new understanding of the importance of trust, The Improvisation Edge introduces the reader to the practice of radical collaboration based on the tenets of improvisation. The collaboration found in any highly successful improv troupe requires deep trust. In truly high-performing corporate teams, these same behaviors are evident. Professionals feel valued, flexible, challenged and an integral part of a great team of people that they trust and admire.

The book provides leaders, managers, trainers, and even front-line employees a practical methodology for adopting the improviserâs mindset. It leverages all of the elements that make improvisation so entertaining: story, surprise, connection, and interaction. It outlines how these principles work for improvisers by pulling readers into a performance and allowing them to experience the adrenaline and uncertainty of improvisation. Each âœsecretâ is demonstrated and then explained so that the âœhowâ and âœwhyâ of improvisation becomes clear. The book then ports the learning over to a corporate environment. The Improvisation Edge provides both case studies from ImprovEdge clients who have embraced these new ways of working and exercises for individuals, pairs and teams. These exercises are immediately applicable, hands-on activities that make the learning real and meaningful to the reader. That, too, is a critical component of improvisational success. Doing it--not just thinking or talking about something, but having guidelines to practice it, up on your feet.

Counterpoint The Private Life: Our Everyday Self in an Age of
Book SynopsisWith social networking and reality television, self-help columns and daytime talk shows, there's an infinite array of platforms to both expose our deepest thoughts and examine the thoughts of others. In this age of non-stop communication, one's privacy is subject to unrelenting examination, intrusion, and attack from the media, the government, friends, family, and complete strangers.So what are we trying to hide? And what are we trying to find out about others? Practicing psychoanalyst and professor of literature Josh Cohen tackles those questions in his study of privacy and personality, the most vulnerable and indestructible region of your self. Using Sigmund Freud's theories on identity and the ego as a foundation, Cohen weaves through time and place to study an extensive variety of people who unearthed and revealed the rawest form of their selves. From Adam and Eve to the ballerinas in the hit 2010 film Black Swan, from Hester Prynne to British celebrity Katie Price, Cohen finds Freud's ideas in both fiction and reality alike.Yet even with all the times that we've exposed the inner workings of our psyches, Cohen is sure to emphasize that some part of every individual will always remain hidden. Like Freud once wrote, The ego is not master in its own house. In a culture that floods our lives with light, how is it that we remain so helplessly in the dark?
