Bøger af David Usher

At David Usher’s company, CloudID Creativity Labs, a sign on the wall reads: “Dream big, let the elephants run!” The words are a reminder for us to hold a place in our minds for big ideas. Based on his wildly popular speaking engagements, Let the Elephants Run shows us how to reignite creativity whether in the head office, the home office or the artist’s studio.Usher believes creativity is in our DNA; it''s in everyone, not just the creative class. We all start our lives as creative beings but for many, that spark of creativity becomes lost over time. Usher empowers readers to achieve more “ah ha” moments through two cornerstone principles of creativity: freedom and structure. Using photographs, artwork and illustrations, he shows us that creativity is not magic; it is a learnable skill that any person or business can master. The dynamic full-colour design includes action pages to help readers start cultivating the habit of documenting their ideas for future execution.A mix of personal anecdotes, and professional examples from the worlds of industry, technology, science, music, and art, this is an essential guidebook to reconnecting with our imaginations and nurturing our creativity in an accessible and productive way.

A practical manual, designed for use by anyone seeking a fuller, more meaningful life - "life measured by quality and intensity, not quantity" - within the context of everyday demands and distractions. It does not assume any formal belief system or religious affiliation on the part of the reader, although it draws inspiration from a wide range of world faiths. The journey to spiritual health can start at any point, and the twelve steps of this book do not have to be followed in a strict sequence, provided that readers are willing to be led out of their familiar comfort zones at some point. The journey can be undertaken alone, or by groups of like-minded people as a shared exercise. Each chapter ends with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.
