Damn Good Advice (For People with Talent!): How To Unleash Your Creative Potential by America’s Master Communicator, George Lois
George Lois

“There are only four types of person you can be. Identify yourself:

Very bright, Industrious (You’re perfect)


Very bright, Lazy (A damn shame)


Stupid, Lazy (You’l just sit on your ass, so you’re a wash.)


Stupid, Industrious (Oh, oh, you’re dangerous.)

If you’re a number 1 or a 2, you’ll get a lot out of this book. If you’re a number 3 or 4, why are you reading this book?”

Creative legend and legendary curmudgeon George Lois offers a lifetime of damn good advice in this gem.
