From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Drama teacher turned self-help advisor Madson learned the hard way that playing by the rules doesn't always mean you win-despite doing all the right things, she was denied tenure in the job of her dreams. The acting teacher learned to jettison the script and improvise her life-and she ended up teaching at a much better university: Stanford. If you improvise, she says, you "will make more mistakes" but you'll also "laugh more often, and have some adventures." Here she offers 13 maxims to guide the fledgling improviser. "Say yes" with the ecstasy of Molly Bloom: it will open up new worlds. "Don't prepare": in focusing on the future, you might miss the present. "Start anywhere": take any entry into a problem, and once you get inside you'll have a better perspective. Madson offers little exercises drawn from improv acting that are easy and eye-opening, such as look at a familiar environment and notice something new in it. Or make a list of important places in your life, put down the book and just go to one of them. Madson's prose radiates the joy of living, the pleasure she has found in taking things as they come. Most self-help books offer a forced sense of inspiration; Madson is genuinely inspiring. "Say yes" to this book. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Improv has become a wisdom tradition of its own and Patricia shows how its lessons can bring out the best in us.” â€"John Tarrant, author of Bring Me the Rhinoceros“Patricia Ryan Madson is one of Stanford’s truly inspired teachers; she has changed the lives of thousands of students over the past twenty-eight years. In her smiling book, Improv Wisdom, she reminds us that being alive is like riding a bicycleâ€"we always feel a little off-balance and insecure, but ‘in the act of balancing we come alive.’ She makes you w ant to get up and do somethingâ€"try it out, make mistakes, laugh, play, and try it again.” â€"Charles Junkerman, Associate Provost and Dean of Continuing Studies, Stanford University“Reading even just a few pages of Patricia Madson’s book might change your life forever. That’s what has happened to me. These pages are chock-full of wisdom, clarity, and helpful techniques on enhancing spontaneity in everyday life. Read this bookâ€"you will be glad and so will everyone else in your life.” â€"Nina Wise, author of A Big New Free Happy Unusual Life “I have witnessed Patricia Madson’s magic touch in both her classes and her performances. Her students often describe her as a ‘goddess,’ but that may be an understatement. I rejoice that her wisdom is now available to new audiences.” â€"Philip G. Zimbardo, author of Psychology and Life and Shyness“The premise of Patricia Madson’s book is astonishing: to practice the basic rules of improvisational theater is to walk a p ath toward a spiritually satisfying life. Her underlying claim is simple and sound: if you are willing to be completely present, making full use of whatever happens, you will find goodness in any situation. This is a lucid, wise, and free-spirited book.” â€"Norman Fischer, founder and teacher of the Everyday Zen Foundation Read more See all Editorial Reviews Books,Humor & Entertainment,Humor, Bell Tower; 1 edition (May 3, 2005) Version in English

Senior memory or not, I could have sworn I wrote an early, 5-star review for Patricia's accessible gem of a book. But I searched and couldn't find my review â€" so here it is (again). I begin with two caveats: (1) Patricia is an acquaintance and colleague of mine. We're both'Constructive Living' instructors, certified by David K. Reynolds, Ph.D. who originated an approach to living wisely and well, and who wrote another superb book with that title. Patricia was also my daughter's Improv teacher at Stanford University when she was a student there. (2) Because I read the book on publication, my comments must remain as general as my memories. No problem there, since other reviewers have outlined many key points from their fresh read.I can only speak here about what I know of Patricia's extensive experience and personal practice of the principles she expresses in the book, with heart and clarity. I still have the book on my shelf â€" it's one of those lifetime keepers that would mak e my top-ten-ever books in this genre. In a field of innumerable rah-rah self-help books recycling worn slogans and bromides, Patricia Ryan-Madson's IMPROV WISDOM comes as a breath of fresh air â€" an antidote to idealistic advice, wishful and magical thinking, and abstract ideas â€" with do-able, practical, realistic reminders.I recommend this book to anyone and everyone interested in living wisely and well. If you think that this is just about how to perform Improvisational theater you will be in for a big surprise. True I originally got it for an Improv class in college. I purchased it from the college book store where I found it was also used for a psychology class. This is useful for everyday life. I feel it is so important that I purchased copies for my friends.I have read it four times so far and found more use each time in everyday life. I highly recommend it for everyone.
