PATHWAYS TO POSSIBILITY

The bestselling author of The Art of Possibility returns with a new vision for transforming personal and professional life.

In this inspiring and transformative book, family systems therapist and executive coach Rosamund Stone Zander invites the reader to shed the childhood stories that hold us back, and thereby enter a realm of true maturity and fulfillment, where limitless growth becomes possible. These "child stories"—about ourselves, and the world around us—are often developed as a result of childhood traumas. They are opinionated, self-centered and fear-driven, and they are the source of the behavioral and emotional patterns that hold us back. When we learn to identify and rewrite these stories, we can do remarkable, even magical things.

Zander shows the reader how to move through three levels of being: 1) living in a child story; 2) living in an upgraded adult story that allows one to see the needs of others clearly, and become an agent in their transformation; and 3) living in an expanded consciousness that allows one to find resonance with the rhythms of the world. It is in this third phase where, with nothing holding one back, the reader can take powerful action in the collective interest, and gain a sense of profound and ecstatic connection to the universe.

This powerful book demolishes our assumptions about how much we can grow and change, whether we can affect others or the world at large, and how much freedom and joy we can experience. Stimulating and profound, it is the perfect follow-up to The Art of Possibility—the book Zander's many fans have been waiting for.
