This timely book challenges the prevailing notion that marketing is, or should be, a purely scientific discipline. Drawing inspiration from Germaine Greer's assertion that "Marketing is the art-form of the 20th century," Tasgal argues that marketing's relentless pursuit of scientific rigor particularly its emulation of physics with its emphasis on universal laws, reductionism, and "arithmocracy" has stifled its inherent artistic and cultural essence. Tasgal issues a powerful rallying cry to marketers and communicators, urging them to reclaim creativity from the margins to which it has been relegated and re-integrate it into the core of their practice. He provocatively asks why creativity was cordoned off and assigned to a select group of "creatives," rather than being seen as fundamental to all marketing endeavours. The Art in Marketing Book offers a compelling path to heal the artificial divide between science and art in marketing, demonstrating how a deliberate shift back towards an art-centric approach can unlock greater saliency, differentiation, creativity, and profound insight for brands in today's complex marketplace.

What if you could live your life in flow? Being in flow is when you are in the zone, on your game, or even on fire. This is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how to achieve that state, based on the enduring (ancient Chinese) wisdom of Daoist principles and practice. Millions of people have lived a better, happier and more productive life by following all or some of these Daoist principles. The book provides the seven core principles of Daoism to help you live your live in productive yet relaxed flow for extended periods or all the time Autorid: Max Landsberg
