Book Overview
John P. Weiss always wanted to be an artist and writer, but his father recommended a conservative profession. So Weiss pursued a career in law enforcement, eventually becoming chief of police.
Throughout his long police career, Weiss found ways to infuse creative writing and artfulness into his work. He drew editorial cartoons and wrote touching articles for the local newspapers. He became an accomplished landscape painter and popular blogger. Weiss turned his otherwise upstanding and normal life into an artful life.
An Artful Life doesn't promise its readers a one-size-fits-all remedy for living their best lives. Weiss doesn't pretend to have the answers to all of life's questions. Instead, he's in the trenches with his readers, taking the journey alongside them.
An Artful Life is an electrifying collection of both fiction and nonfiction works from a man who complemented his professional career with artwork and creativity. It is a poignant and sobering work of self-help literature that acts as a constructive and easy-to-access guide to being simultaneously creative and happy.
