Thrive Minds March Meeting
Thursday March 2nd, 2023 at Karlo Estates
The first Thrive Minds Book Club was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came for inspiring and enthusiastic discussion, thank you to KarloEstates for hosting us, and to Susan Smythe-Bishop for lighting the spark & propelling the book club into being.
This month, we discussed “The Art Of Possibility” by Benjamin Zander and Rosamund Stone Zander, a book on mindset and how to look at life through the lens of possibility. Enjoying beverages and delicious treats, we connected with community members and discussed the principles, frameworks and inspiration we gained from the book in small groups.

BOOK SUMMARY
Presenting twelve breakthrough practices for bringing creativity into all human endeavors, The Art of Possibility is the dynamic product of an extraordinary partnership. The Art of Possibility combines Benjamin Zander’s experience as conductor of the Boston Philharmonic and his talent as a teacher and communicator with psychotherapist Rosamund Stone Zander’s genius for designing innovative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. The authors’ harmoniously interwoven perspectives provide a deep sense of the powerful role that the notion of possibility can play in every aspect of life. Through uplifting stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the Zanders invite us to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world.
