Pathways to Possibility

Transform your relationship with yourself, those around you, and the world in 2020

_________

In this powerful and inspiring book, family therapist and executive coach Rosamund Stone Zander shows us that life is a story we tell ourselves, and so we have the power to change that story.

As children, we develop stories about how the world works, most of which are amended over time. But some stay with us, and these stories can be the source of behavioural and emotional patterns that hold us back. When we learn to identify and rewrite these stories, limitless growth becomes possible.

By breaking old patterns and telling a new story we can transform not just our own lives, but also our relationships with others whether in a marriage, a classroom, or a business. With this new understanding of ourselves and our place within an interconnected world, we can take powerful action in the collective interest, and gain a sense of deep connection to the universe.

This galvanizing book expands our notions of 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.

Pathways to Possibility is a great stepping stone from Rosamund Zander's previous book, The Art of Possibility. I saw myself in this book: my relationship to my childhood, to the past, and to Nature, and the struggle and delight of helping a new self emerge. Zander has a shrewd understanding of human nature and a dispassionate compassion for all the troubled things we do as we get through our lives. She's teaching us all how to be architects of the spirit.

—— Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone

Lively, humorous and intimate, this retelling has real charm

—— The Guardian

Fry takes us from Zeus to Athena with humour. The Greek gods of the past become relatable as pop culture, modern literature and music are woven throughout. Joyfully informal yet full of the literary legacy

—— Guardian

Fresh revivals of the myths of ancient Greece. In his own imitable style, Fry takes an erudite look at the doings of gods, goddesses, kings, queens and ordinary mortals

—— The Bay

I quite like Mythos, Stephen Fry's book on the Greek myths - he makes them amusing. I like people that illuminate the past with humour

—— Jools Holland

Mythos has the gripping nature that one would hope for from a modern blockbuster. Filled with a sharp and delightful sense of humour, Stephen Fry's many witticisms making it an even more enjoyable read. I would recommend it for so many reasons

—— The National

Brilliant . . . Stephen Fry's writing style makes it appealing to all. There's something for everyone

—— The Herald

Reimagines the lives of ancient Greek gods and goddesses through a humorous lens, using casual language and making valuable comparisons to modern characters or events. It's also just really, really funny

—— American Express Essentials

Arguably the greatest living Englishman

—— Indendent on Sunday

The patron saint of British intelligence

—— Daily Telegraph

National Treasure: noun - someone or something regarded as emblematic of a nation's cultural heritage, such as Stephen Fry

—— Oxford English Dictionary

This is an interesting, well-written and thoughtful book… He deserves credit for engaging with a highly complex and equally pertinent subject at a time when Islam is always in the news especially in the Western world

—— Muhammad Khan , Muslim News

Highly readableThe Islamic Enlightenment has a bone to pick with those who argue that Islam needs to become more civilised.

—— Nabeelah Jaffer , Daily Telegraph

A refreshingly optimistic counterpoint to the idea that Muslim and Western world-views are doomed to clash.

—— The Economist

A tremendous combination of deep learning, forceful argument and arresting prose, The Islamic Enlightenment is bold, bracing and important

—— Jessie Childs, author of GOD'S TRAITORS

That there has been an Islamic Enlightenment at all will come as news to many. De Bellaigue’s account of the “very broad church” of Islam in the modern world is splendid and timely.

—— Anthony Gottlieb, author of THE DREAM OF ENLIGHTENMENT

Nuanced and rich in detail

—— Dmitri Levitin , London Review of Books

A sobering and compelling narrative of calamity.

—— Kirkus

This is a piercing look at the communities ravaged by the tsunami

—— Eri Hotta , Guardian

What a visionary!... You must read it this summer, you’ll love it. It’s so incredible they published that a year before everything happened… He has a vision and it’s incredible… Incredible!

—— Carla Bruni , Quietus

The literary chronicler of Western decadence

—— Ross Douthat , New Statesman
