I believe that our creativity grows like sidewalk weeds out of the cracks between our pathologies—not from the pathologies themselves. But so many people think it’s the other way around. For this reason, you will often meet artists who deliberately cling to their suffering, their addictions, their fears, their demons. They worry that if they ever

Recognizing that strategy is a creative exercise
I think of the strategy frameworks for more stable environments as castle-building (e.g., Michael Porter’s five forces framework) or chess (e.g., the resource-based view proposed by Jay Barney); that’s in contrast to strategy in dynamic environments, which is more like surfing, where you try to be...

learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old... See more
