This little book follows a businessman who has become apathetic about about his life. He meets a Cirque du Soleil producer who shows him the passion and creativity evident in everything the company does. If you need inspiration and a rekindling of your creative spark, this little nugget is for you.

I listened to the audio book on Audible. The accents were fantastic. This is a very inspiring book and a great story. I want to see the show so bad now!!

I love the story and history behind Cirque du Soleil and wanted to read a behind-the-scenes account. I wasn’t as much into the life lessons that the author presented. It also wasn’t clear to me why Diane took the author under her wing in the first place. So, I enjoyed the stories of the Cirque performers, but not so much the rest of the book.

A good book that approached the heart to drive home some often forgotten things that are simple but powerful. Much akin to books like "Who Moved My Cheese" or "Peaks and Valleys". It is a worthwhile read- and even more so for those who enjoy the Cirque Du Soleil experience. The light reading makes it easy to get through but the lack of depth in delivery does not mean it will not lead to some depth in reflection.

We are all creative, but too many people have lost the spark of life. This book follows a sports agent in a journey of rediscovery through the inner workings of Cirque Du Soleil. The lessons on creativity are priceless and line up nicely with the wisdom of Walt Disney,"This special secret can be summarized in the four C's. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Consistancy, and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe in it all the way. Have Confidence in your ability to do it right and work hard to do the best possible job." I read this book for the TEA virtual book club and absolutely loved it.

The world of Cirque Du Soleil is fascinating. The way it is presented in this book is not my favorite thing. This is a self-help-motivating book that uses a fictitious storyline to present Cirque Du Soleil, at times losing the story of Cirque and dedicating a lot of paragraphs to the personal story of the protagonist (which is not real). If you are looking for the history and strategies of Cirque Du Soleil, this book is not for you. On the other hand, the book leaves you with the overall feeling of the people and culture of Cirque explained through many angles and personal stories. This is the best part of the book.

Un comienzo bastante bueno, sin embargo, hacia la mitad del libro es un tanto predecible lo que escribe el autor, es lo malo con estos libros de autoayuda, sin embargo, a veces aunque uno ya lo sepa, necesitas que alguien venga y te lo diga o en este caso leerlo para ser consciente de lo que ya sabes, la primera mitad me gusto mucho pero después fue puro bla, bla, bla...
