Nice to see these pop up here. I was the "exec-in-residence last Nove '03 at the Banff Centre for Leadership and the Arts (Banff Alberta), and the week long program used these principles as the contextual frame for the program. In case you're interested, here's a bit I blogged on the the structure/content of the week-long program.

I don't know wat's wrong with me lately but i been perceiving some newslogs and comments, as not unlike pop-up ads, especially the one's concerning the middle east situations. Iam popping them off as fast as they are popping up. It almost seems like there is a desparation for branding ones unique or even less than unique ideas while they last. Now, i mainly enjoy spanish languge logs, becase they do not upset me the slightest. I don't understand a word. I also think they may come useful, since i am thinking of shifting my not too significant weight ower to Mexico way. If i do so i will change my name to Zistvan. I want to go down in the annals of history as Zistvan the Zenpatista. How is that for unique. 6 Feb 2004 @ 15:48 by Bruce Kodish @24.205.69.22 : Da Vinci Was Da Champ! My Amazon.com review of Michael Gelb's book: "An Inspiring Guide to Living Creatively., October 26, 1998 As a dedicated free-thinker I'm suspicious of self-help schemes that require higher powers, 'spiritual' raptures and untestable beliefs. I am, however, willing to test things out in my own experience and am willing to appear 'childish' while doing so. Leonardo, I have learned from Michael Gelb, did likewise. I've found inspiration and wisdom in Gelb's book and recommend it to anyone willing to open themselves to his message of human potential. Leonardo's life provides examples of qualities that we can all move towards in our own lives. The book emphasizes that we are all much more creative than we realize. Open yourself to this message and you'll find applications that can make a real difference in your life. The book has a wealth of suggestions and a broad reading list. It provides a program of exploration and self-development that you can begin at once and continue to unfold for years. Read the book, toss aside your cynicism (as an experiment) and do the exercises. A few days before she died from lung cancer, I did the Mona Lisa exercise with my mother. She had no trouble getting that smile. I will always remember that look on her face. Thanks, Michael." One of the things I enjoyed most about the book (all modesty aside) was the unexpected treat of seeing that Gelb had put the first edition of my wife's and my book, Drive Yourself Sane, in his recommended reading list under the heading Connessione. He called our book "An approachable work on systems thinking and general semantics." A nice surprise to see that. Gelb subsequently provided a blurb for our second edition. 23 May 2004 @ 00:37 by Victor Day @64.12.116.9 : 82 Cheve S-10 Having a problem with my s-10 stick shift rev up the engine in natural engine runs fine then, put in gear 1st gear and 2 then it bogs down, give it alot of gas then will run fine, engine is a v-6 2.6 or 2.8 but has a slave cyl. tryed to adjust but seams to be worse at times.
