A practical manual, designed for use by anyone seeking a fuller, more meaningful life - "life measured by quality and intensity, not quantity" - within the context of everyday demands and distractions. It does not assume any formal belief system or religious affiliation on the part of the reader, although it draws inspiration from a wide range of world faiths. The journey to spiritual health can start at any point, and the twelve steps of this book do not have to be followed in a strict sequence, provided that readers are willing to be led out of their familiar comfort zones at some point. The journey can be undertaken alone, or by groups of like-minded people as a shared exercise. Each chapter ends with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

Creativity is in everyone’s DNA, not a select few. We all start our lives as creative beings but for many that spark becomes lost over time. How do we jump-start this process as adults? What does it means to be a creative person? How do we follow through with our ideas and turn them into tangible outcomes?
Award-winning musician and founder of CloudID Creativity Lab David Usher believes we just need the right tools to help us reconnect with our imaginations in our day-to-day lives whether in the head office, the home office, or the artist’s studio. Usher empowers readers to achieve more “aha” moments through two cornerstone principles of creativity: freedom and structure. Using a mix of personal anecdotes and professional examples from the worlds of industry, technology, science, music, and art, he shows us that creativity is not magic; it is a learnable skill that any person or business can master. The dynamic full-colour design includes photographs, artwork and illustrations, as well as action pages to help readers start cultivating the habit of documenting their ideas for future execution.
Based on Usher’s wildly popular speaking engagements, Let the Elephants Run is the essential guidebook to reigniting and nurturing our creativity in accessible and productive ways.
