Our first class will pull a little from the book The Art of Possibility. On day one we'll bring our student's fears out into the open and then guide them into a Universe of Possibility as described in the bestselling book by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander.
Students will be given the framework for the rest of the course on this day, which as stated before, is about living and working in a new environment, a new Universe. At least in a metaphysical sense.
On this day we'll also go over the work of two inspiring people, who against all odds, managed to build something lasting and meaningful because they too lived in a Universe of Possibility.
Sounds a little corny, but we definitely recommend the book. Its listed as one of 'the best 100 business books of all time' in the book by the same title.
IMPORTANT: We are currently deciding on how we would like to incorporate a student handbook into Idea School. While we would find it acceptable to simply pick a book that is already published, we feel that this would diminish the overall methodology that we are going for. No single book has what we would consider the 'right answers'. Therefore we are considering adapting many of the theories presented from a diverse set of texts into a student handbook which will be required of each student. Though, many of these texts may make up core reading material.
