- Synopsis
- The frames our minds create define--or confine--what we perceive to be possible. Every problem, every dilemma, every dead end we find ourselves facing in life, only appears unsolvable inside a particular frame or point of view. Enlarge the box, or create another frame around the data, and problems vanish, while new opportunities appear. In this chapter, authors Rosamund and Ben Zander remind us that "it's all invented"--that we construct our own meanings and reality. If we can embrace this idea as practice in our lives, the hidden assumptions that have held us back in the past melt away to reveal new possibilities. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of "The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life."
