About the Book

A model of leadership, drawn from the artist’s studio.

Drawing on the worlds of art, counseling, and leadership, The Art of Everything lays out Gary’s Framework for Artful Leadership — a way of leading grounded in humility, empathy, and passion, and informed by the habits of mind of the artist as a creator and a tinkerer.

It’s a hopeful, deeply human guide for anyone who wants to lead with more creativity and heart, whether you’re a novice or seasoned in the work. Readers who loved Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic or Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way will feel right at home.

If Wonder is the lyric expression of paying attention, The Art of Everything is its expression in leadership — the same belief that creativity and connection change everything.
