This book shows you how to surrender control by being adaptable, curious, and unbiased as well as resourceful, tenacious, and courageous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigners and educators Andrea Small and Kelly Schmutte use humor and clear steps to help you embrace uncertainty as you approach a creative project. First, they explain how the brain works and why it defaults to certainty. Then they show you how to let go of the need for control and instead employ a flexible strategy that relies on the balance between acting and adapting, and the give-and-take between opposing approaches to make your way to your goal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautiful cut-paper artwork illustrations offer ways to rethink creative work without hitting the usual roadblocks.
