Kornbluth recounts his time working with her on the book, offering us a tasty morsel of insight on what it was like to work with a genius of her ilk. One of Tharp’s earlier books, The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life, was included in the Innovation and Creativity chapter of our The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.

Look Both Ways
By Porchlight
Yesterday, I began looking through a copy of Debbie Millman's new book, Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design, and was immediately struck by the layout.
