Turn Your Life into Art

Lessons in Psychomagic from the San Francisco Underground

De: Caveat Magister

Narrado por: Lee Goettl

Over thirty years, San Francisco's underground art scene developed techniques to create magical, impossible, life-changing experiences. Today big corporations are trying to figure out how to spend millions of dollars to do what these artists and anti-artists did using nothing but time, space, and imagination. It was "a movement without a manifesto," with people discovering how it worked through trial and error. Very little was written down—until now. Caveat Magister, widely seen as one of the leading voices of Burning Man's philosophy, has written this book to explain what these experiences were, why they worked, and how you can create your own.

You will learn:

• What "psychomagical" experiences are, and why they can have such a powerful transformative effect
• Why rag-tag groups of weirdo artists have been so good at peak experience design, and why wealthy corporations filled with equally talented people have done so poorly
• Where "magical art" connects with the work of Jung and the Humanistic psychologists to support personal development and mental health
• How to create experiences that go beyond design and seem impossible—until you experience them yourself

A Special Book

This is what books used to be; the independent proliferation of new cultural ideas, rather than the manicured profit oriented products of billion dollar money making enterprises that also act as censoring gatekeepers. Really grateful to have been given this as a gift.

And in terms of the audio book, the reader is excellent. Thanks for that.

Really great

Super captivating and very clear. It’s a book that follows the principles it’s talking about, like honesty and giving up control. The narration is wonderful too.

Must Listen

This book is incredibly inspiring. I strongly recommend that you listen to it right now.
