No longer are the boring and repetitive nine-to-five jobs as safe as they once were. The world is changing but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It’s time to do something about it. It’s time to adapt to the new digital economy. So how can you do this? By becoming an artist. According to Seth Godin, you must embrace your creativity and break out into a field you are passionate about. Art, however, doesn’t have to be painting pictures and drawing fruit in a basket. Art is simply any creative task that requires something more than a computer can offer: ingenuity, creativity, and passion. Becoming an artist might require you to go against everything you’ve been taught about life. You should no longer rely on the old-fashioned corporate ladder with a guaranteed salary. It’s time to create a better, more fulfilling society by following your passions, even if that means giving up your cushy desk job. With Seth Godin’s advice, you’ll be ready to tackle your passions in no time. As you read, you’ll learn why the myth of Icarus is holding you back, how being like a god will help you succeed, and why society uses shame to control your actions and prevent you from pursuing your dreams.
