We’ve discussed healthy habits, desire and interception, but now is the time to focus our artist eyes!

I also give tips on how to create your own “syllabus” with these resources.

Resources:

Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury - Jordan Troeller

To Photograph Is To Learn How To Die - Tim Carpenter

Sin and Syntax: How to Craft Wickedly Effective Prose - Constance Hale

The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know - Shawn Coyne

Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People - G. Richard Shell

This Is What It Sounds Like - Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art - James Nestor

This is the book on breathing I was talking about.

Decisionscape: How Thinking Like an Artist Can Improve Our Decision-Making - Elspeth Kirkman

I also wanted to recommend this book for understanding the importance of “word tense” when it comes to internal thoughts and rumination - I cannot stress this enough. She goes through first person, third, active, passive - language really does shape a lot of our decisions and life.

Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think In Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions - Temple Grandin

The Activism of Art: A Decentered Anthology - Dipti Desai and Stephen Duncombe

The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone - Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach
