I just completed a condensed version of Prof. Rao’s course titled Creativity and Personal Mastery.
The full version is taught every semester at Columbia University and the classes are overwhelmingly over-registered.
This course has had tons of good stuff written about it and every alum I’ve had a chance to speak with raves about it. Now that I’m an alum of sorts, with this 33% course work, I feel I can definitely say that given the chance, you should take the full version (meaning either getting into Columbia Business School or through www.opencenter.org)
Read more about this course at some of these websites …
- What students say about this course
- About the course, Columbia newspaper
- Books listed as required reading for this course (taken from the syllabus and converted to Amazon Listmania format)

Vinit – thank you for sharing information on Dr. Rao’s “Creativity and Personal Mastery” course. I was reading about Dr. Rao’s new book and went to Amazon.com to order it. Unfortunately, it will not be released until Jan 2006, so I decided to google Rao and personal mastery, which is how I found your blog. Thank you so much for providing a link to information on Dr. Rao’s site.

I am a Polish student willing to enter the course of creativity and personal growth – I would be really grateful if anybody sent me any information about the opportunities for those who are not even dreaming of getting to Columbia Business school but are actually dreaming of self-fulfillment via the mentioned course. Is there any chance for overseas students to join the course only for its time being? – grateful for all kind of info – Violetta from Southern Poland:).
