In an irresistible invitation to lighten up, look around, and live an unscripted life, a Stanford University professor and master of the art of improvisation explains how to adopt the attitudes and techniques used by generations of musicians and actors. These secrets are currently being taught to entrepreneurs, engineers, and first responders in a crisis as well as housewives and Alzheimer caregivers. Let’s face it: Life is something we all make up as we go along. No matter how carefully we formulate a “script”, it is bound to change when we interact with people with scripts of their own. Improv Wisdom shows how to apply the maxims of improvisational theater to real-life challenges – whether it’s dealing with a demanding boss, a tired child, or one of life’s never-ending surprises. Patricia Ryan Madson distills 30 years of experience into thirteen simple strategies, including “Say Yes”, “Start Anywhere”, “Face the Facts”, and “Make Mistakes, Please”, helping readers to loosen up, think on their feet, and take on everything life has to offer with skill, chutzpah, and a sense of humor.
Done.

This is a book about applying the philosophies and techniques of improv to other aspects of your life. Madson taught an improv class at Stanford University for many years. In the final chapter of this book, she jokes about the irony that it took her 20 years to write a book about acting in the moment and "just doing." She says she struggled with what form this book should take. Should it be a practical guide? A self-help book? Parts of this book existed in notebooks, on 5-inch floppies, 3-inch floppies, zip drives and thumb drives. But that’s the thing about wisdom–it’s timeless, right? And while a lot of titles have "wisdom" in them,, the weight of those 20 years have helped pack big ideas and true wisdom into this slim book.

What attracted me to it originally was its application to creative thinking. I usually work as a member of a creative team, in which the improv dynamic–building on one another’s ideas, I say "what if…?" and you say "yes and…"–is critical for success. The first chapter of this book is called "Say yes." On the first page, I have highlighted "Yes glues us together…Yes expands your world."

Throughout this book, I’ve highlighted little gems like this on about every other page. They’re great reminders for people who have been working creatively for years, and great articulations of some of the fundamentals that we often take for granted. Even reading through the chapter titles–the maxims, as they’re called in the book–I find myself nodding: say yes * don’t prepare * just show up * start anywhere * be average * pay attention * face the facts * stay on course * wake up to the gifts * make mistakes, please * act now * take care of each other * enjoy the ride.
