Maketonow is a book of quotes from artists and designers on how to live your life. The author says we should discover where we are headed before making plans for our lives. She argues that working toward an existing vision can be narrowing and limiting, as opposed to expansive. Maketonow: How To Live Your Life starts at 9pm tonight on BBC2.
When we see Michaelangelo's David or the design of the Apple Store, we assume a genius with a predetermined vision was the key to the outcome. Yet as Lorne Buchman, author of Make to Know, tells EconTalk's Russ Roberts, great art is more about embracing the process of exploration and the results that emerge in the process of creating. Buchman makes the case for embracing uncertainty in both leadership and life.
