An Artist Empowered / Dharma
I would like to introduce you to my latest book: An Artist Empowered: Define and Establish Your Value as an Artist—Now.
The main themes include the importance of dharma and Zen Buddhism to the arts; and after all, great art is born of non-attachment. Understanding is where you find it.
Dogma, as we come to learn, can creep into the most pure of understandings. Tradition can be good; mindless tradition isn't.
A recent endorsement:
"An Artist Empowered is an intriguing book that uses real-life anecdotes,thought-provoking reflections, and humorous insights to explore how to create and lead a life worth living. The powerful and timeless principles make this an evocative page-turner. Read it and reap."
--Sam Horn, author of POP! Stand Out in any Crowd and Tongue Fu!®
