I'm not sure I'm a practitioner, but I certainly try. I've found that to
be one of the most useful tools for me over the past few years. I've also
heard a couple of people refer to him as Chris Arduous, in reference to
the difficulty many have had in getting up to speed on action science. I
found that what helped me most was reading page after page after page
(book after book after book!) of transcriptions of his interventions.
What have your experiences been?
