"A practical, fascinating, and funny guidebook. I've already begun applying hints from Improvisation for the Spirit, and I'm hoping that from now on, when people point and laugh at me, it will be for more appropriate reasons. A delightful read, filled with wonderful strategies." ― Martha Beck, Life Coach Columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine, and author of Steering by Starlight
