ABSTRACT

Are You Ready to Master Your Own Life and Craft?

You are a creator. With every thought, word, and action, you impact the whole world and manifest new realities. The worlds you bring into being directly reflect your own awareness, personal development, compassion, values, and commitment to every worthwhile endeavor. This book is a field guide to your own personal truths and their very global impact. It offers a step-by-step examination, in no particular order, of one’s work ethic, processes, perceptions, motivations, aspirations, and integrity. This timely guide offers relevant insights as we move into a future where fewer resources will necessitate the use of our greater creativity, innovation, and ethical sensibility, and where, with our global-mindedness, we will be called upon to make heart-centered choices. Within these pages, Mel extends an invitation to join an evolution of mindfulness, where it is each person’s responsibility to know themselves fully, to understand and act upon their inner authority, and to help create a world that is compassionate, healthy, and beautiful.

 

Key Features

  • See What They’re Doing: Features interviews with design managers from top firms that show readers that it isn’t about what’s faster, it’s about what’s best.
  • Get Away from the Screen: Some of today’s most beautiful web sites and digital products started on a whiteboard, or a napkin, a sand table, or from a ball of yarn. This book shows how to bring tactile, real-world media to full online realization with fidelity.
  • Be a Turtle: This book is connected to a community for those who want to slow down, steep ideas, and craft web and mobile sites on time and within budget, while fostering that lost sense of art.
