Robert Poynton - Do Improvise

This was less good than I'd hoped, partly because it's more heavily slanted towards organisational application than in one's personal and creative lives and partly because - for all of the emphasis on improvisation as a practice rather than something that can usefully just be read and thought about - its suggestions seemed rather obvious and general (notice more, let go, use everything; see everything as an offer), even if the orientation they bespeak is no doubt a helpful one. Still, some handy prompts for me, and an easy read. The improv games were my favourite bit - I can see how they would be fun and useful.
