Book Description
This book is several books rolled into one. It is primarily an inspirational book of art maxims, full of calls-to-action, but also a book that bears witness to the inner tension that conditions life lived at creativity's behest. The artist's life is built on the quicksand of self-belief, and by necessity, inner peace is a distant thing, a thing of the horizon. Mr Innit and his alter ego are an illustration of an artist's internal conversation. They are a marriage that can turn, in an instant, the artist to madness or to glory. Mr Innit's plain dealing and deficient articulation is a simple mask, concealing an observant, alert, and sensitive mind, one locked in a permanent struggle with the poetic discourse of his alter ego, using the weaponry of mordacity, in the search for truth, however ambiguous and fleeting. Mr Innit is a 'rough diamond'. He is the essential 'rebellious' us, a safety stop, for when vanity and elitism climb moralities ladder, and to mediate when the need for acceptance distorts and suffocates the possibility of true discovery. It is a book about redemption. An inspirational art quote book about life, art and being an artist. A gift book for arty people with a sense of humour, art lovers and anyone wishing to learn about art. An informative backbone of straightforward, practical advice, opaquely enigmatic thoughts (some absurd and others comically arrogant), and pithy inspirational observations on the meaning of life are disarmed by the cheeky backchat of an ex-con. This book is all of the following: An Inspirational gift book A self-help book A funny quote book A book of quotes and sayings funny quotes, gifts for painters, learn to draw, famous artist quotes Over 340 art quotes including twelve 'thou art' commandments (calls to action), will definitely inspire the reader. This book is many books rolled into one. The perfect gift book, an art education book, and an inspirational quote book! An original approach to art learning. It will leave the reader amused and enriched by insightful snippets on art technique and the artist's thinking processes.

Atomic Habits
Author: James Clear
Publisher: Penguin

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium
Author: Martin Gurri
Publisher: Stripe Press
ISBN: 1953953344
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

Those Who Wait

Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite. She's always had clear steps outlining her path to success with no time or inclination for romance. Her burgeoning career in politics means everything to her and she's not willing to compromise it for something as insignificant as love. Fleeting, casual, and discreet worked perfectly fine. When they meet through a dating app, it's immediately clear that they aren't suited for anything more than friendship. Right?
