In 'Creative Calling', Chase Jarvis emphasizes the importance of creativity as a habit available to everyone, regardless of their profession or background. The book introduces the 'IDEA' system: Imagine your big dream, Design a daily practice to support it, Execute on your plans, and Amplify your impact through a supportive community. Jarvis encourages readers to start small, making creativity a part of their daily lives, and argues that this practice can lead to greater direction, agency, and happiness in life.
Shift
Hugh Howey
Shift is the second book in the Silo series by Hugh Howey. It enriches the story of Juliette by telling the backstory of Donald Keene, the architect of the silos, and reveals the truth about the men who created World Order Operation Fifty (WOOL). The book consists of three novellas: First Shift, Second Shift, and Third Shift, each providing a different perspective on the catastrophic events that led to the creation of the silos. It connects Juliette to Donald and sets up the premise for the next novel in the series, Dust. The story spans a significant amount of time, exploring themes of philosophy, human nature, and the consequences of technological advancements[1][3][4].
