Artist: Someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. Not all artists can draw, but all artists can see. And, an artist takes it personally.
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn’t matter. The intent does.
(Possibly a brilliant book. Or maybe just a new spin on Tom Peters.)
It is interesting to note how the corporate world is being challenged to adopt the artisans’ philosophy: do something remarkable that matters to someone. Work with your skills to touch people emotionally, change them, challenge them, and thrill them.
The book challenges people to think outside the box. Personally I think this is impossible. You are either creative or not, courageous or not. I can’t imagine the people he is challenging to be different could ever take the leap. A charming read non-the-less.
Any thoughts?
BTW, Seth Godin has a great Blog at http://sethgodin.com/sg/
