About the Book
Get Out Of Your Head, It’s A Mess In There! is a book that has been percolating in Art Dielhenn’s brain for a bit. It was COVID that pushed the former A-List TV director turned Career Coach to add the title of author to his creative resume. He wrote this book as a “get-me-through-the-pandemic-with-my-head-screwed-on-straight-project.” It’s a book of aphorisms for better thinking and living, promising readers quick access to 101 thoughtful ideas and 101 clever cartoons.
What Are Aphorisms Anyway? The dictionary says they are, “pithy observations that contain general truths.” They are economical, reducing principles to their primary essence. They are “tried and true” shorthand directions for living. By repetition over time, they become part of the fabric of life’s understanding of itself. They are reminders, prompts, encouragements; sometimes admonitions like “a bird in hand is worth two in the bush” or “look before you leap.”
