The Flexibility Factor: Why People Who Thrive on Change are Successful, and How You Can Become One of Them - Hardcover

In spite of its far too pretentious subtitle, this book can be recommended to persons who are willing to give the idea of changing themselves and their outlooks a try. In a series of chapters written in a genial but rather repetitive style under such headings as "Your Change-Friendly Quotient," "The Inner T.E.A.M. of Flexibility," and "Your Flexible Brain," the authors of Whole-Brain Thinking ( LJ 4/1/84) outline several techniques to help change-seekers refocus their thinking. The ideas are presented in primer fashion (complete with questions and exercises) and are brightened up with case histories, each with a moral tag. The book bears no resemblance to Tom Peters's opus on organizational change, Thriving on Chaos ( LJ 10/15/87).
