Struck by Genius
Author: Jason Padgett
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0544045645
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
From head trauma to scientific wonder—a “deeply absorbing . . . fascinating” true story of acquired savant syndrome (Entertainment Weekly). Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett had never made it past pre-algebra. But a violent mugging forever altered the way his brain worked. It turned an ordinary math-averse student into an extraordinary young man with a unique gift to see the world as no one else does: water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns, numbers call to mind distinct geometric shapes, and intricate fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches, revealing the intrinsic mathematical designs hidden in the objects around us. As his ability to understand physics skyrocketed, the “accidental genius” developed the astonishing ability to draw the complex geometric shapes he saw everywhere. Overcoming huge setbacks and embracing his new mind, Padgett “gained a vision of the world that is as beautiful as it is challenging.” Along the way he fell in love, found joy in numbers, and spent plenty of time having his head examined (The New York Times Book Review). Illustrated with Jason’s stunning, mathematically precise artwork, his singular story reveals the wondrous potential of the human brain, and “an incredible phenomenon which points toward dormant potential—a little Rain Man perhaps—within us all” (Darold A. Treffert, MD, author of Islands of Genius: The Bountiful Mind of the Autistic, Acquired, and Sudden Savant). “A tale worthy of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! . . . This memoir sends a hopeful message to families touched by brain injury, autism, or neurological damage from strokes.” —Booklist “How extraordinary it is to contemplate the bizarre gifts that might lie within all of us.” —People

Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup
Author: Zara Barrie
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 164293464X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
“Self-help meets memoir. Party girl meets wise sage. Beauty meets reality. Zara Barrie is the cool older sister you wish you had. The one that lets you borrow her designer dresses and ripped up fishnets, buys you champagne (she loves you too much to let you drink beer), and colors your lips with bright pink lipstick. She'll take you to the coolest parties, and will stick by your side and she guides you through the glitter, pain, danger, laughter, and what it means to be a f*cked up girl in this f*cked up world (both of which are beautiful despite the darkness). Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup is for the girls that are too much of a beautiful contradiction to be contained. Zara is a gifted writer—one second she'll have you laughing over rich girls agonizing over which Birkin bag to buy, the next second she'll shatter your heart in one sentence about losing one’s innocence. Zara is the nuanced girl she writes for—light, irreverent, snarky, bitchy, funny; and aching, perceptive, deep, flawed, wise, poised, honest—all at once. Perhaps the only thing that can match Zara's unparalleled wit and big sister advice is her candid humor and undeniable talent for the written word. Zara is one of the most prolific and entertaining honest voices on the internet—and her talent is only multiplied in book form. Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup is for the bad girls, honey.”—Dayna Troisi, Executive Editor, GO Magazine “Reading Zara's writing will make you feel like you're at your cool-as-hell big sister's sleepover party. You will be transfixed by her unflinching honesty and words of wisdom, and she'll successfully convince you to not only ditch the shame you feel about the raw and messy parts of yourself, but to dare to see them as beautiful.”—Alexia LaFata, Editor, New York Magazine “If Cat Marnell and F. Scott Fitzgerald had a literary baby it would be Zara Barrie. She’s got Marnell’s casual, dark, downright hilarious tone of an irreverent party girl. But then she also has Fitzgerald’s talent for making words literally feel like they sparkle on the page. I’ve always been a fan of Zara’s writing but Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup takes it to the next level. With shimmery words that make her dark stories sparkle, she seamlessly manages to inspire even the most coked-out girl at the party to get her shit together.”—Candice Jalili, Senior Sex & Dating Writer, Elite Daily

The Entrepreneur's Guide to Keeping Your Sh*t Together
Author: Sherry Walling
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780999651803
Category : New business enterprises
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Learn how to stay sane and ensure both you and your business thrive for years. You run a business. And running a business is hard. It can ruin your health. It can ruin your relationships. It can ruin your life. But only if you don't equip yourself for the journey. The responsibility, stress and loneliness of being an entrepreneur are a far cry from your friends who work salaried jobs. The path of least resistance is to let the stress and isolation of starting, running and growing a business infiltrate most aspects of your life. Over and over we've watched our fellow entrepreneurs succumb to the mental toll and chaos of running a business. We've also experienced it firsthand as we've launched and grown our own businesses. Odds are good that you've been overwhelmed at some point. Maybe you've read self help books only to find that books about stress management typically don't take into account the unique experience of entrepreneurs. Or they're 'lifehacks' written by a blogger with no formal training, offering advice based on anecdotes. Why do I need this book? You want to invest in yourself (and consequently, your business). You want to learn proven strategies, tactics and techniques to overcome the challenges that cause you heartburn and headaches. You want to get off the treadmill of stress, anxiety and isolation that entrepreneurship brings. You want to prevent burnout, depression, isolation, and the emergence of damaging coping strategies and self-sabotaging choices. Every aspect of this book is a pairing of psychological expertise with decades of entrepreneurial experience. Author, Seth Godin calls it, "A personal, generous and incredibly useful guide to staying sane and changing the world at the same time. Read it before you think you need it." Here are just a few things you will take away: New ways to deal with the responsibility and fear that go along with being an entrepreneur Why knowing yourself and where you came from is crucial to your success How to succeed as an entrepreneur no matter your personality type How to keep stress from ruining your relationships Dealing with depression, anxiety, burnout, ADHD and other common psychological burdens How to get more things done - and faster - by dealing with procrastination, distraction and muddled priorities How to deal with overwhelming (seemingly) massive failures How to find personal calm in the midst of chaos And much more...

Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
"I think we're all cracked and scarred and some of us maybe even have a chasm or two or four. Some of us are more tuned into our landscape. Maybe a few have put together a road map of trauma and triggers. Days and distances and despair to be avoided. I find myself tripping over the same cracks I identified over a decade ago. Are these the markings that create the unique current of my life? Is this a sign of hard-headedness, weakness, unresolved turmoil, emotional instability, and/or old habits dying hard? Is it something more clinical?Is tripping even a problem? Is there a steady cadence in this life? And if so, what kind of life is that associated with? Would it leave me happy and fulfilled? Would it leave me looking for a little crazy? I don't mind the trips. I worry about a fall." Get Your Shit Together Girl tells the story of a classic white, middle class, nineteen-year-old female waging a multi-year battle with bulimia and substance use, journaling her way through years of parental bumbling, treatment hopes and letdowns, systemic failures, and haunting decisions. Told in a diary-style format--and often through the lens of early adopter social media--these teen years are juxtaposed ten years later with the same girl-turned-woman sifting through the trauma of that time and doing everything within her power to get honest with herself, unearth the past, and heal--at last. Set in the mid-2000s and 2015, respectively, Get Your Shit Together Girl offers a pre-Obamacare glimpse into the American healthcare system and a pre-Trump take on self-help modalities, mental health treatment, and fighting for the life you truly want with all you've got.

Because of this lack of preparedness artists miss out on valuable opportunities, financial rewards, and access to receptive audiences. This book aims to help teachers teach professional practices to artists everywhere, helping to avoid these pitfalls and get on the track to success on their own terms. Whether you are a gallery-bound artist, a public artist, an emerging artist, a hobbyist, a crafts-person, a student, or a seasoned artist in need of a tune up, this manual will help you train artists.

Book Description
Your essential guide to publicity, finance and career management with advice from the top. Including everything you didn't get in art school, and even more. • Are you making art but nobody seems to notice? • Do you find it difficult to make money or develop your network? • Need to add some skills to make your career worthwhile? Look no further. The ArtStars* Guide to Getting Your Shit together is the go-to ebook for any art student, art school grad or professional artist in or entering the contemporary art world with a goal of cashing in and making a splash in the public eye. Beginning from the core basics, this tell-all inspiration ebook covers every aspect of working as an individual artist – beyond the studio practice. Every successful, professional artist knows they must put in the extra effort to get noticed, and that means more than just sitting in your studio making your work in the dark. Since interviewing thousands of artists since 2003, the internationally-acclaimed arts journalist and celebrity interviewer, Nadja Sayej has written this book to help artists succeed with career management, publicity and finance. With a focus on recovering from your biggest mistakes, this must-have guide is built for visual artists who want to thrive, not just survive, in an increasingly visual-based society. There is No Business in BFA Art schools don’t train artists for media interviews, how-to price their work, or even ways to profit as self-made entrepreneurs. That’s why there’s an ebook to get you caught up on the homework you never got (and it’s cheaper than a MFA). Reality Check In the real world, there are many artists who get press but no sales. Hence, people in their 30s and 40s are totally well-known in their industry, but have nothing to show financially. This is totally unfair but totally possible to change. In fact, it’s never too late to change that. Career Advice from the Top Getting your shit together is about finding your own voice and managing your career in a time when you can’t expect other people to do everything for you. You can have a gallerist, an agent, a PR team and a studio, but if you’re not in control of your own life, you will not get results. The advice in this ebook comes from interviews with: • Marina Abramovic • James Franco • Yoko Ono • Genesis P-Orridge • Olafur Eliasson • Peaches • Hercules & Love Affair • Chilly Gonzales • … curators, artists, collectors, and more! What you’ll get in this must-have ebook: • How-to think beyond the artist statement and create a compelling vision • How to put together a press kit and the five necessary elements you need to succeed • How to get press from newspapers, magazines and blogs • How-to stay quotable and notable in a media interview • What to do if you get a bad review – or if they get all the facts wrong • The do’s and don’ts of an artist’s website • Where to put in the extra effort • Selling without selling out • Taxes, business tips and how-to create an effective sales plan • How-to gain a unique edge over competitors • Results-driven strategies for business networking • How-to make more money and how-to ask for more Ebook Facts • Over 42,000 words, 76 pages • Available in pdf, epub and kindle • This ebook is divided into five sections: Vision, Perfecting your Presence, Press & Publicity, Art & Finance and Networking Your Way to the Top • This third edition including never-seen-before material with new interviews, quotes and hot tips • Covers the breadth of publicity, finance and career management with advice from the top Once you take a thorough read of this ebook, you'll be on your way to a clear-thinking, focused art career with all your bases covered.
