I have heard this advice recently, and I cannot remember who to attribute this quote to but – a book is better than a business card.
Looks like to get in peoples faces – we all need a book.
With that said, I recently had an idea about the Bible – It is a book that at its best, gives us instructions on how to live and how to be better people, at its worst – gives people the green light to commit atrocities.
Its also a tad outdated.
With the freedom and the low cost of production these days, how hard would it be to come up with your own bible – your own book.
Something to hand to someone and they would be able to understand your process, your ideas on the world, how you work, even how you think.
Before this would have been a dangerous thing to put into the world, but since we are now living in a universe that awards openness – how good would that be to be able to open the book on someone and get an idea of their habits, desires – a book that would be an entry to who they are.
