The Creator’s Cycle: David Edward’s Third Way

Description

Harvard professor and celebrated artist David Edwards is a pioneer in the third way of creating ‘things that matter.’ His approach differs from the first way (generating profit) and the second way (contributing to culture) in that it is driven by the passionate curiosity of the artist and the enjoyable experience of the audience. It is a decidedly intrinsic pathway that has yielded exceptional results in the fields of scientific research, artistic expression, manufacturing, engineering, art, and theater. He calls his process “The Creator’s Cycle”, and it is described at length in “Creating Things That Matter” (Picador Press, 2018).
