Balancing Acts details Daniel Lamarre's journey of creativity and defining moments with Cirque De Soleil. As someone who has been to a couple shows, I can say I am thankful the show does go on, because it would be sorely missed. I like he speaks of sticking to your guns with your vision, convincing others, and transformation. I also like he cares about the people. Many companies do not. I do at times think he speaks from a very privileged perspective, but can't fault him for working hard for it. He has definitely had a unique life and rubbed noses with so many wonderful history defining people, not to mention the show itself, that I am in awe. I love the book is very quoteable. I summarize: the fundamental truth is there is a symbiotic relationship between money and creativity, they desperately need each other. So true. And creativity makes you vulnerable. Overall, a good read. Take it is spurts, not all at one time.
