We live in a troubled world. Yes, there is much to applaud and progress to be grateful for. And yet, mediocrity is infecting the majority. And average is infusing the herd. All true artistry—work that wows the world and gives you and I the permission to become the creative outlaws we secretly long to be—starts with a dysfunctional perception of reality. ...If you’re not being laughed at a lot, you’re probably not creating very much. ...If you’re not attracting criticism, condem...
