Into the Open: Mentoring Mystic Aspirations

Into the Open: Mentoring Mystic Aspirations offers readers a new way to think about creativity--their own and others'. Author Michael Shenkman shows how 'mystic aspirations' generate a unique creative spirit, opening up new avenues on which to explore both the human endeavor and our own lives. Shenkman outlines the key factors to keep in mind when mentoring people with mystic aspirations. He provides new ideas about how the mystic's "aspiring mind" works, and highlights stories of the people who set this figuration of breakout creativity on its way, changing the human endeavor forever. Mentors and other support providers will benefit from this new outlook on the great human urge to create. Shenkman has more than 40 years of experience in coaching and mentoring executives in technical, creative, and entrepreneurial fields. Into the Open is Shenkman's fourth book on mentoring and leadership.
