Insight beyond what one would imagine. It is a fast read (5-10 minutes) but definitely worth getting picked up. Life lessons by someone who obviously knows life and the creative side of it specifically.
You will want to read it over and over and over.... it's just 5 to 10 minutes anyway!"
"Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite is an uninspiring motivational book by Paul Arden. Each page has a statement (and sometimes an image) to make you rethink the way you think. However, I found it to be a bunch of baloney. For instance, Arden asserts that you should not attend college: "If you start work at 18, you are five years ahead of someone starting at 23." How is that good advice for someone who wants to be an architect or a doctor or a school teacher?
Here's another disappointing gem from Arden: "If you want to be in a job where they won't accept you, just turn up." Yes, I'm sure that corporations would be thrilled to have declined applicants just show up for work. Security would escort you out of the building immediately.
The book is so short that I read it in less than half an hour. But I suggest you save yourself that half an hour and find a book that is truly inspiring."
"pertama kali liat buku ini, yang paling membuat gwa tertarik adalah sampulnya yang bikin penasaran minta segera dibaca. baca sebentar dan yak, selesai! selesai?? sedikit kecewa karena ternyata isinya lebih didominasi oleh gambar2 dan font dengan ukuran yang sangat BESAR. (mungkin kalo mau digabungin pake font arial 11, isinya ga lebih dari 5 halaman A4 aja!)
jadi kesimpulannya ekspektasi gwa terhadap buku ini jauh lebih besar sebelum gwa baca daripada apa yang gwa dapet setelah membacanya. walaupun harus diakui memang si Paul Arden ini cukup bagus dalam memilih ilustrasi untuk tulisan2nya, hanya saja sekali lagi : TERLALU BESAR!
diluar itu, isinya cukup menarik (walau terkadang aga standart) dan membuat kita berfikir ulang untuk berani mengambil pemikiran yang 'salah' yang ternyata justru merupakan jalan yang paling 'benar'.
yang paling menarik menurut gwa, bagian Alexey Brodovitch ngasi nasehat buat Richard Avedon muda. nasehatnya sederhana :
"BUAT SAYA TAKJUB! ingat2lah kalimat ini dan apapun yang anda lakukan akan menjadi kreatif. "
(khusus buat yang satu ini gwa setuju kalo font nya harus ditulis gede2 + background yang merah!) haha.."
