"If you ask people what they want most out of life, they will likely say something like inspiring experiences, excitement & discovery, groundbreaking work, making a difference, and meaningful relationships. But if you ask them how they're doing on that wish list, more often than not you'll find it's still just that: a wish list.

"If you ask people what they want most out of life, they will likely say something like inspiring experiences, excitement & discovery, groundbreaking work, making a difference, and meaningful relationships. But if you ask them how they're doing on that wish list, more often than not you'll find it's still just that: a wish list. That's because everything on that list requires taking risks like pushing beyond comfort or putting our trust in others. It can be hard to pursue the things we want most, because we also want to protect our hearts, careers, and relationships. So most people's instinct is to avoid or control risk. As a result, we end up with a chasm between what we want and what we're willing to do to get it. To bridge that divide, we need a way to make those risks feel smaller, less dangerous, more worthwhile, and, frankly, more fun. In Safe Danger, Ben Swire-co-founder of Make Believe Works, a company that grew out of client requests for his work at IDEO, where he ran workshops and activities dedicated to creativity, community, and play-provides that way. Swire created Make Believe Time to help people take the risks needed to find purpose and joy in their lives and work, basing it on five core principles: 1. Create safe danger 2. Make the familiar unfamiliar 3. Celebrate joyful failing 4. Connect through highly personal low stakes 5. Jump the tracks of though Including playful, practical, and meaningful activities based on these principles, Safe Danger is for business professionals and creative types-especially those who feel stuck or dissatisfied with their company's work culture of where they are in their career. Taking small, safe risks in a contained setting has been proven to help build confidence and strengthen the emotional muscles needed to deal with uncertainty and navigate unexpected change-meaning you'll be better prepared to take meaningful risks when the opportunities arise. You'll speak up at the meeting. Take the trip. Try the class. Talk to the intimidating person. Take the risk"-- Provided by publisher.
