Book Review: Cirque Du Soleil’s The Spark

Josh on July 10th, 2009

I was recommended (and then given – thank you!) a new book this week – Cirque Du Soleil’s The Spark: Igniting the Creative Fire That Lives Within Us All. At only 130 pages or so, it is a quick read, like most of what I like to tackle.

The story is a business fable about a guy named Frank who is burned out in his job and through a chance interaction gets connected to the creative process of the daring acrobatic circus troupe. While it is more story than business principles, there’s enough along the way to pick up and apply. You feel the intensity they feel in creating an epic experience for audiences. You see the power of teamwork and trust for each other that literally scales to life and death levels. You will search your own heart to make sure you are following your calling in life, too. I enjoyed the book -and since I’ve never been, I might need to go catch a show soon, too. B
