A vibrant, illustrated guide to blazing a unique and fulfilling
creative path, from the Stanford d.school.
Humans have always been creative hustlers--problem solvers who seek to
live beyond the limits suggested by society. Yet we live in a world
where the place you were born, the amount of money you have, and the
level of melanin in your skin indicate the precise path you are expected
to follow. Too many of us silence our creativity and let our hustle
calcify as we settle for the roles assigned to us.
Now Olatunde Sobomehin and sam seidel, co-teachers of the Creative
Hustle course at Stanford University, help you identify and navigate
your own creative path that leads from your gifts--your unique
combination of skills--to your goals, where you make a living doing
things that matter.
You'll learn about other creative hustlers, like Bryant Terry, who
merged his passions for social justice and African American cuisine to
become an award-winning eco-chef and cookbook author; Sian Heder, who
used her desire to deeply understand herself and others to make
award-winning films that add to the cultural conversation; and author/TV
host Ayesha Curry, who aligns her professional and personal decisions
with her core values.
Taking inspiration and lessons from these creative problem-solvers and
using activities from the Creative Hustle course, you will begin to see
and shape your own path--and follow it to the fulfillment of your goals.
