Great Value for Applied Improv Facilitators

Revisado: 05-23-21

A good read for any communicator, especially those who have to communicate in STEM. However, it is deeply heartening and validating for AI practitioners. These are the very topics we tend to teach, and here we are equipped with a rich bibliography of Alda's experience and supporting research.

Amazing Performance of Shelley's prose

Revisado: 10-24-18

For anyone who's ever had to read this in high school and struggled with the language, this performance might make you a believer. The language is so unapologetically ornate and rich in its antiquity, and Stevens really brings it to life. I might listen to it again just to hear some of those phrasings. if I had a kid in high school who had to face this book, I would make sure they had this recording.

easy* intro to meditation

Revisado: 07-03-18

meditation is easy. meditation isn't easy. however, I found the author very helpful in his use of stories and analogies to help guide the reader through the ancient Concepts he discusses. if you're interested in Shambhala practice, I would start with his father's book first, Shambhala the sacred path of the warrior

more important now than ever

Revisado: 06-21-18

I first heard of this book over 20 years ago in college. a lot of my female Pagan friends found it very important. I really wish I had read it sooner. set as a Chronicle of Arthurian Legend, this is an incredible reflection on the need for religious pluralism and tolerance and the dangers of patriarchy and fanaticism. and yet it's told in such a way that it's very hard to outright hate any figure in the story. Davina Porter's reading is amazing. hearing she contends with easily 30 different important characters and manages to make it seem like you're hearing that many different voices, without resorting to caricature. one caveat, this certainly is an unabridged version. it took me several weeks to get through it, and some of the courtly chatter can seem quite endless. but still, a great way to immerse yourself in a very believable take on Arthurian Britain.

Funny, Techy Sci-fi w/ strong female protagonist

Revisado: 05-17-18

Great story that makes sci-fi believable: delves into chemistry, engineering, politics, and economics. Great female hero as well.

good, but not comprehensive

Revisado: 04-13-18

Positioned as a canvas of improvisation in America but ignores a lot that happened outside of Chicago, LA, and NYC. Leaves out ComedySportz, Theater Sports, Brave New Workshop, etc. Best for diehard comedy fans who want to learn more about their favorite tv/movie stars, their early days and influences. Still, I recommend it.
