Book description
Creativity is not a gift for a select few,
but an ongoing process of growth and self-realization available to
anyone who puts in the effort to pursue the spark. In this book,
Chris Orwig offers a unique perspective on the creative process,
showing you how to find meaning in your work, be inspired, and
discover the life for which you were designed.
With thoughtful and engaging chapters such as “Keep the Edges
Wild,” “Einstein’s Game of Connect the
Dots,” and “Grit and Glory,” Chris presents each
concept through personal examples—his own and
others’—showing how to live a more creative and
meaningful life.
Drawn from his 12 years as a faculty member at the prestigious
Brooks Institute as well as his experience leading creative
inspiration and photography workshops and speaking on global
stages, Chris’s stories are designed to teach you how to
discover your own creative voice. Each chapter includes exercises
to help you incorporate what you’ve learned and connect the
topics directly to your own experience.
Features the friendly, approachable voice of Chris Orwig, whose photography, teaching, and speaking have inspired countless aspiring amateurs and professionals alike
Includes exercises in every chapter to help you put the concepts you learned into practice
