Lessons from the Art of Juggling: How to Achieve Your Full Potential in Business, Learning, and Life

Michael J. Gelb. Harmony, $19 (196pp) ISBN 978-0-517-59925-9

Gelb, a learning consultant, and Buzan (The Mind Map Book) present a quirky and effective amalgamation of managerial principles, learning theories and ideas on juggling. Using juggling (tennis balls or fruit) as a learning metaphor, they hypothesize on goal setting, attitude transformation, relaxation and confidence building. The benefits of mastering the art of juggling-including correct balance, ambidexterity and confidence-are readily applied to other endeavors. Amply illustrated with sketches, this uncommon approach to self-improvement has more to offer than other such guides and is a great deal more fun. (Sept.)
