音樂人,樂團鼓手,DJ,音樂製作人,電影製作人,作家,餐廳老闆。多重身份的作者,探討創意的啟動,創作的過程,科技的影響,以及平衡創作中的藝術性與商業性,有很具體的想法。跨足在音樂,電影,和飲食間的範例中非常多元。我一半在飛機上讀,另一半在家中搭配他的DJ音樂看完,是個很有趣的體驗 (他的音樂不是要跳起來的那種,而是"head-nod music。 當然啦,一邊看書一邊點頭也無法撐太久)
我整理了五個重點
(1) 抽離的能力 Departure
(2)做自己想法的策展者 Curation
(3) 導師與同儕 mentors and peers
(4) 科技的影響和反思 Technology
(5) 嘗試新事物 Trying New Creations
" When it comes to the process, persist, persist, persist. It has positive effects for your ideas, remember that life is short. But life is also long, part of persisting is coming to terms with that fact. On the role of boredom in human life, we won't always be jazzed or juiced by what we're doing. Accepting boredom means accepting a series of other things -- the realization that humans are insignificant in this planet, which leads to the realization that humans must create to ward off that insignificance. Maintaining the right attitude about aging, and keeping your creativity charged as you age, is the flip side of that same principle."
