I get a lot of my best ideas, insights, solutions to problems, inspirations, even entire book ideas from biographies.

Fill your mind with as much info you find interesting.

Eventually your brain starts making all kinds of fascinating connections with all that material in ways you cannot predict or even control. Including ideas that ordinarily have no earthly relations to each other.

Your brain is simply awesome, it is the source of where the nuances and the gold resides.  You don’t need ChatGPT.

 

Here is a short list of some great ones that’ll keep you busy for a while:

 

  •  The George Lucas, Dr. Seuss, and Jim Hensen bios by Brian Jay Jones
  •  Fred Rogers’ (Mister Rogers) bio by Maxwell King.
  •  Steve Jobs’ bio by Walter Isaacson.
  • 12 Lives of Alfred Hitchcock by Edward White.
  •  Neal Gabler’s Walt Disney bio.
  •  Frank Capra’s autobiography
  •  Ken McCarthy’s “How the Web Won”
  •  Marvel Comics: The Untold Story -( not so much a person’s bio but a billion dollar company’s)
  • Marie Curie by Susan Quinn
  • Autobiography of  Yogi
  • Stanley Kubrick’s biography
  • Thomas Jefferson biography
  • George Washington’s biography
  • Andrew Jackson biography
  • Billy Graham’s biography

There are many, many more ( women) which are not included here.

I love reading about the lives of the great renaissance masters, their creativity and perspectives was beyond awesome.

My thanks to Ben Settle.

 

Enjoy whatever you are doing today
