The Middle Way: How to Strategically Use Laziness to Enhance Your Creative Power - Paperback

by Cole Hastings (Author)

Creativity is the most underdeveloped natural skill that lies within every human being. Developing it starts with laziness.
No-one is ever truly lazy anymore. When we are presented with a state of boredom, the large majority of us pull out our phones or turn to some other form of media to pass the time. What this has created, are recent generations full of untapped creative potential just waiting to be unearthed through spending our free time doing the optimal lazy things.
The Middle Way: How To Strategically Use Laziness To Enhance your Creative Power offers a unique perspective on the development of creativity, success, and fulfillment in one's life. In an era where efficiency, speed, and time is severely overvalued, The Middle Way teaches you why this type of thinking can be detrimental to your mental and physical health (and above all, detrimental to the pursuit of enhancing your creative skills). Content Creator, Videographer and Entrepreneur Cole Hastings argues that in order to live the most gratifying and stress-free creative life, the way you view the meaning of life, yourself, and the entire universe must first be altered. When this has been developed thoroughly, you can then adopt the "lazy" strategies that the most successful creatives use to shine and prosper within their areas of expertise. This book explores both the mindset shift required and the tools and tactics needed to make a living off of your creative gift.
In this book, you will learn:
- Why genuine free time is the most underutilized aspect of modern society
- How every successful creative person thinks and acts (and how to do this in your own authentic way)
