A career is doing something that you love with passion, without concern about monetary return. And the irony, of course, is that done with truthfulness and courage, most of the time your passions will bear monetary rewards.'--John S. Couch. From one of today's leading creative minds comes a book for modern rebels about how to find success--without losing your edge. Written for uncompromising creative thinkers and aspiring change-makers, The Art of Creative Rebellion encapsulates insights and wisdom collected over a life of creative and professional success. In a frank, reflective and insightful series of letters to young free thinkers, John S. Couch shares the knowledge he wishes he'd had at the beginning of his own career journey. With refreshing irreverence and candor, he does more than urge young iconoclasts and non-conformists to follow their passions--he lays out the uncompromising principles they must cultivate in order to thrive in a world that seems to reward conformity. Filled with honest self-reflection of his own missteps, Couch mentors his readers through the steps of finding their courage, embracing discomfort, and nurturing creative habits that strengthen their true self and power their careers. Above all, The Art of Creative Rebellion a guide to shaping a life, career and reality that nourishes the spirit and feeds the soul--with no compromises or apologies.
