One of my all time favorite books.Siona said Apr 8, 5:00 PM: |

Perhaps I should post this in the review section, but I'd much prefer to spark a little conversation here. I don't remember when and where I first discovered James Carse, but I do know this book had a profound influence on my world. It's not so much that it opened me to new ideas (though it did!); rather, it more gave me a language for a certain way of being that I was struggling to express. If I could assign one book to everyone, this seriously might be it. |

Yes, I enjoyed it as well but was not marked by it. Somehow it left no trace in the ideational sphere but I remember flowing through it and coming out the end of the book clean. A very different read. Makes me want to go back to it and rediscover why it seemed so enjoyable and yet my read so un-re-mark-able. |

Same with me, Siona … “It's not so much that it opened me to new ideas (though it did!); rather, it more gave me a language for a certain way of being that I was struggling to express.” And I would have to say that it is also at the very top of the list of books I've read and would recommend. I love the end, “THERE IS BUT ONE INFINITE GAME.” A little book with huge ideas and great impact. |

Satya: I'm glad we're both getting to play (with(in)) it. Where did you first learn about Carse? I wish I could remember who first recommended him to me. Also, have you seen his other books? I don't think any of them come close to this gem, but they're still worth the time. |
