Editor reviews

Listeners from all walks of life will feel encouraged by the examples and messages provided in Designers Don’t Have Influences. Some of us try to do work, sometimes under deadline, while feeling devoid of the fuel inspiration provides. Others crave a life filled with vocational passion. Author Austin Howe profiles a broad spectrum of achievers in these insightful and charming essays. Howe shows how these men and women live, think, and work. In specific he shares how they take ideas and imagine them into being, and how they manage to remain productive when creativity does not automatically spark. Narrator Erik Synnestvedt does a terrific job of relaying Howe’s humor and friendly coaching.
