In Books We Find Improvising in Everyday Life
Improvising in everyday life means embracing uncertainty, acting without waiting for perfection, and choosing “yes, and” over “no” to build on opportunities. It’s about active listening, learning from mistakes, and staying present to adapt and communicate when plans change. The Library has compiled a list of print and electronic resources on improvisation mindset in everyday life, inviting you to explore its infinite possibilities.
