Lyn Heward is a longtime executive with the show Cirque du Soleil and after watching the spark and energy of the show for so long she decided to write a book. It is semi-fictional and tells the story of a burnt out man who embraces Cirque.
The Spark: Igniting the Creative Fire That Lives Within Us All (Currency, $19.95) is a semi-fictitious account of a burned-out executive who stumbles onto a rehearsal of a Cirque du Soleil performance in Las Vegas, follows the famed troupe back to its Montreal headquarters and turns his life around by embracing the company’s mantras: take chances, get out of your comfort zone, trust others, work for a common goal, and when all else fails, muster up some courage.
