How "Yes, And" Thinking Helps You Open Hearts, Change Minds, and Win Together in a "No, But" World

Happy Accidents is an improbable story. This book relates the power of placing a deep and enduring faith in people and inpartnership. Most of us plod through our busy daily lives at work and at home doing the best we can while unleashing a barrage of "no's" and "but's" to stay on track, and as many "would've," "could've," and "should'ves" as necessary to compensate for the things we miss out on. For some, our "no, but" reflex action is a reflection of our fast-paced and often fear-based world, and our desire for control in the face of uncertainty. For others, "no" is a learned conditioning that stops us cold in our tracks of discovery, stifles our desire for positive interactions with colleagues at work, and even shuts us off from the people closest to us - our families - whom we see at home after our workday.
