You can use art as a practical tool for solving your problems and making life decisions.
This is a technique I learnt from the Wall Street Playboys, so big thank you to them, and I’ve written about it at length here.
I decided you could get a lot of value from me walking you through how to use art in this way and showing you what this approach to viewing, understanding, and appreciating art looks like, using examples from my visit to an art gallery.
We’re very much learning how to make the poetic practical, similar to how we learn to live the great books in the Hardcore Literature podcast.
So enjoy, let me know what you think and if you want more content like this.
