Gordon MacKenzie worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, where he inspired his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit - to a mode of dreaming, daring, and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. He teaches how to emerge from the "giant hairball" -- that tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, and systems, based on what worked in the past and which can lead to mediocrity in the present. - Jacket.

Awesome awesome book. It's for creatives who work for large corporations. I love the life lessons there, too.

Really enjoyed this one - was confused by why there was no audio book at first, but once I started reading it, I understood why. Not sure it's one of those books you read over and over again, but I would gladly gift it to someone who needs to read it. Strikes me as a good book to do that with.
