The Art of Creative Thinking
By Rod Judkins
In this collection of perspective essays, Rod Judkins, a renowned lecturer at London’s famous Central Saint Martins art school, dissects history’s most creative minds. Through changing their names, to obsessing over being different or looking at rejection as an opportunity, Judkins argues that we can all unlock the power of creativity in our vocation. Quick and witty this will be sure to open your mind and ask yourself, “What am I passionate about?”
“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.”
Thoughts
Ever feel like you have the next big idea in your head, but can’t seem to articulate it? Ever think that life is just happening to you, and you don’t know your true calling? Same. Rod Judkins (badass name btw) is that teacher that never gives up on you. Instead he forces you to do something far greater than what you ever could have imagined. In The Art of Creative Thinking he examines the world’s greatest creators, from Kurt Cobain to Paul McCartney to Rembrandt, and shows you how human their approach is. Sure some artists are zany and goofy and downright nuts, but isn’t that what makes life worth living? Don’t you have some strange quirk, too? I know I do. Creativity can be cultivated in all of us. So cultivate, my friends.
