Synopsis

"Follow the Meander has taught me so much that I now have to count Andrew Dietz as a mentor."— Jonathon Keats, experimental philosopher, whose brain is registered as a U.S. copyrightWhat if the indirect path is actually the right one?The best ideas don't travel in straight lines. Neither did Buckminster Fuller, John Cage, Ruth Asawa, Isamu Noguchi — or any of the genuinely original creative minds of the twentieth century. Most of them passed through a single place: Black Mountain College, the legendary avant-garde community in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina that operated from 1933 to 1957 and produced more creative breakthroughs per square mile than any institution before or since.Follow the Meander traces the creative philosophy that Black Mountain embodied — the belief that spontaneity, lateral thinking, and purposeful wandering produce better work than any optimization system ever invented. Through the lives of experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats, Zen master Michael Elliston, and the towering figure of Buckminster Fuller, it makes the case for meandering as a genuine superpower."The beautiful thing about this book is that it's both a description of a method and an example of it." — Verified Purchaser"There are no dead ends. There is only meandering and the beauty that unfolds along the way." — Verified PurchaserNow part of the Ever Mountain College curriculum — the living mythology and creative fellowship inspired by the novel Ever U, dedicated to the spirit of Black Mountain College in the twenty-first century.Stop optimizing. Start meandering.
