This is a
pared-down, demystified overview of the mental operations involved with
creating things aesthetic, i.e., art, design, and the like. It is a
disarmingly clearheaded and unsentimental look at the creative process by an
eminent creator. The book's
photographs and design serve as an example of what the creative process, at its
most sophisticated, can yield.

Industry Reviews
"Indeed, you
could say that Koren has spearheaded the design equivalent of the slow food
movement."--The New York Times

"In a
prominent spot near Square's welcome lobby stands a communal bookshelf. . .
Most titles lining the shelves cover subjects you might expect at a high-flying
tech startup. . . And then there are books placed on the shelf by [Twitter and
Square co-founder Jack] Dorsey. He offers up Wabi-Sabi for Artists,
Designers, Poets & Philosophers --an explication of the Japanese concept
of serendipitous beauty." -The Wall Street Journal
