Art for Dummies

Two things:

 

1) You can never learn too much about your industry.

2) It's important to be able to explain what you do to people outside your industry in very comprehensible, digestible terms.

I've been flipping through this book (not necessarily reading it in order). If you're still intimidated by art, it is an accessible read from a credible source.

This book has been making it's rounds for a while and is deserving of more praise. (I picked it up 3 weeks ago and read it in one sitting.) A wonderful, accessible, digestible read with so many great takeaways. Among my favorites: 'Validation is for parking'.
