About the book
Conductor Benjamin Zander and family therapist Rosamund Stone Zander join the worlds of the symphony orchestra and psychology in twelve practices for bringing creativity into work and personal life. The practices rest on two premises: that life is composed like a story, so that it is all invented, and that new definitions make much more possible than people usually believe. Practices such as Giving an A, Rule Number 6 and Leading from Any Chair draw on parables and stories from the authors' own lives and from famous and everyday heroes. Leading from Any Chair recounts Ben's realization that a conductor's power depends on how much greatness he grants to others. Harvard Business Press published it in 2000.
Seth Godin recommends it, and content marketer Andra Zaharia, who read it in his altMBA program, said it taught her the power of framing.

Another truly wonderful book is The Art of Possibility, which I’ve mentioned previously. This was part of the reading recommendations of Seth Godin's altMBA program that I went through earlier this year. Reading it brought me pure joy and helped understand the concept of framing and utilize its power in my day to day life.
