As a result she has worked with some of the greatest cultural and spiritual visionaries of our time, such as Margaret Meade and Joseph Campbell. In A Passion for the Possible, written as a complement to the PBS series by the same name, Houston explains what helps people become creative geniuses.

Acting as a guide to the interior world, Houston once again inspires readers to embody their true potential.ReviewsMaybe its me. Maybe since I ve read everything from Shakti Gawain, to Wayne Dyer to Deepak to Anthony Robbins, Carolyn Myss, Ken Wilbur and Brian Tracy to Abraham Hicks and everything in between, I find this book woefullly redundant: “Find different parts of yourself that need to speak out and let them have their say.” I admit I bought this because the title grabbed me and it was […] thru a re-seller. I tried 3 times to finish it and it just made me sleepy. So did her other book, a Mythic Life. Im finding out as I hit 50 , that the curse of being well read in the self-help and Self Improvement/spirituality niche is that after a few years, everything si just rehashed and repackaged to make the publishers more and more money. Often from the same authors. I cant believe Wayne Dyer and Caroline Myss endorsed the book. In fact, Im beginning to wonder if there is a publishing conspiracy going on where these guys just endorse anything the publisher asks them to or else! Anyway Im throwing my copy out. Wouldnt want some poor soul with a weak heart to buy my copy and drop dead of boredom.ReviewsWith elegance and playful ease, Jean Houston brings a powerful invitation to become more of what we already are.This book will open you to new realms of possibility in your personal and inter-personal life.ReviewsI found this work quite disappointing, full of vague, overgeneralized ideas so much a part of new age literature.ReviewsThis book is an adventure of the imagination. Houston gives us a design for using the imagination as a tool for personal growth. The book is a workshop for personal development. Houston provides the reader with exercises to develop four realms–sensory, psychological, mythic, and spiritual. This is not a book of concepts and theories but of practical exercises for becoming more of who you are meant to be.ReviewsJean Houston can rightly be called the mother of the human potential movement. She has been everywhere every one else has gone, only she was there first. Sadly, her books have not always served her well, she is too complex and always on the move. Her life is a virtual roadmap of personal transformation and the search for our deepest selves. In this small but potent book she does manage the near impossible and distills a lifetime’s worth of teaching into an accessible introductory work. While a book is no substitute for actually studying with this master teacher, A Passion for the Possible serves as an inspiring glimpse into the mind and work of Jean Houston.
