What’s your favorite book?
"Finding the Right Color or the Color you want, hasn't always been that easy." - Greg Gunn. That Story blew my mind!
That Gregg Gunn guy is so happy and all, seems so excited talking about his book.
The way he explained his book, I really want to read it now.
he's a happy guy.
Quite the soothing voice too. Would listen to a podcast of his for days.
It's a marvelous book. Gorgeous, and fun to putter through a page or two whenever I have a minute.
@@latteARCH uuýjhjujjù
Every time I watch your content I find something useful! I would really love to hear more about video/filmmaking since you guys are producing so much video content. I find that sometimes I struggle to translate ideas from the design/branding business practices to an equivalent strategy for creating video as a business. Thanks for all you're doing!
It’s nice and refreshing to try something non design related much at the futur channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice list, I was expecting other types of books though. The one I'd recommend would be 'Ludwig Wittgenstein On Color'. Wittgenstein is a Austrian-British philosopher with a very unique look at... everything actually. In 'On Color' his thoughts and logic think experiments about color are collected. It's a really interesting and thought provoking book to read, especially when you're a designer. It gives a new perspective on color that goes away from the functional aspect of color, on which we seem to focus a lot.
I recently read the E Myth and its hella valuable. Thanks Melinda. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the list Futur!

And I remember now who Greg Gunn reminds me of...its Nick Swardson!! I thought I saw Greg in Grown ups 2...lol!!
Where is my mind wandering now : )
I was searching for that Chris book recommendation I saw a while ago, thanks@
Seems like a good list. I was getting a very Reading Raibow vibe after a while 😁 FWIW, I would recommend anything by Seth Godin or a book I just finished called, "Pitching Ideas: Make People Fall in Love with Your Ideas." It's written by Jeroen van Geel.
Keep up the great work!
Glad to see The Secret Lives of Color on this list, it really is an amazing book.
Chris in another video showed a book named "The 1-Page Marketing Plan". O man what a masterpiece this book is. Thank u Chris.
You're very welcome. by Allan Dib.
As always helpful and amazing videos. Thank you team The Future :)
we gotchu
What an entry by Chris in this one. Loved it.
it's a fantastic book
Thank you for all the creativity you give to the world
You hosted great people ... new ideas
A wonderful and global design culture ...
Appreciate it
Chris gave me a surprise . I was not expecting him in the video it was good amazing video guys.
Waeez thanks waeez!
- The E Myth

Blair Enns's book is a goldmine!! I highly recommend it!
I gonna dive in that Greg Gunn recomendation, cheers!
Came here to prepare my list for 2021 books
I actually am watching everything from futur
Appreciate it Noman
@@thefutur i once texted Chris on insta gram and he replied and helped me out plus mathew as well that's something i really appreciate i was working with a client that did not give specific brief what he needs all he said was" i need salt bag design 10 kg". I ended up making design but the client afterwards said he doesn't need the work anymore. Weird experience 😂
Thank you very much 🤩🤩🎊🎉
50 SHADES OF CREATIVE you’re welcome
Well, that's a gem I haven't watched before!
So, what would be the best (or favorite) novel you would recommend ?
Personally I think fiction is also very interesting to develop a creative mind and enrich imagination, and sometimes even give unexpected clues for any kind of matter in life and I would be curious to know what you guys read.
One of my favorite : Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion.
An insane and visionary sci-fi novel that goes beyond a simple futuristic story and decrypts a lot of the mechanisms of human civilization through the tales of a strange pilgrimage and space geopolitics.
You could do a video - Best design books for non - designers. :)
The Secret Lives of Color is really interesting!
Does you affiliate links works for Amazon Mexico?
This is Christmas sorted!
I'm reading the E-Myth right now!
good book
YAAASSS!!!
Melinda Livsey my design business mentor also recommended I read it! It’s really good! Y’all have great taste 👌
@@hannahswanson544 That's awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Can these books be downloaded online?
try searching online.
Hate you all! Don’t give me more books I now want to read without more time in the day lol.
Couple of new ones to me in there so Christmas list time.
4:43 ok, got it! i'm going create a new color calls "client purple".
Interesting😍✨
I paused the video midway to go buy "The Win without pitching manifesto - Blair Enns" on my k***** app. It literally cost me 199 Indian rupees (around $3). I hope I'm able to position myself better up the foodchain after this. Thank you so much The Futur team!!
it's a good start.
I just love Greg Gunn :)
hi, can anyone help me to get what ben says in 2:02? "you need to know how much money you need to make, to make ..............."? thanks before!
Off-topic, how do you read the title of Blain Enns' book? The "Win Without Pitching" Manifesto or The Win Without "Pitching Manifesto". My guess is on the first one
Luthfan Wicaksono first one
@@thefutur Thank you. :D
the title contains "the" so..
@@markb.8460 Yeah , i just realized that. I thought it was "To" not "The"
I hate books about running a business, and that book suggested by greg still seems really designy, but more up my alley and interesting to me.
it was a design book disguised as a non-design book
@@thefutur lmfaooooo. word.
Creative Quest by Questlove
Ben's Book Burn :p
Ego is the enemy by Ryan Holiday is a must, too
Matthew Encina i started from the middle of the series hahah (and I’m probably gonna go straight into Stillness is the key :P)
I'd also point out to 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius. He feels like Holiday's spiritual father and I believe it's one of the books every person should read. Mind-blowing value in it...
Damjan Bulatovic ooh nice definitely adding it to the wishlist! Thanks!
I thought Dot Lung also works in this agencies
What happen to Aaron he used to work with the video department curly hair what happened to him did he quit????
he's working at another company now.
Ben Burns talking about "burn rate". LOL
Nice video but that's too many books to read. In social media era that's too much.lol.
we solve that problem, watch until the end
Can you make video about typography
What do you want to know
typography in general
@@omeralsoma_ They have a course Typography 01 on their website if you have the $$$. Another free one here could be nice too
I know they have typography course but I wan know typography will help me or not
I search one for free and I don't find I just want to experiment typography cause if will help me I will to watch it in udemy
4:20 the secret lives of porcupines
a B I G Thank You!
fashooooo
Thanks for sharing your picks, fam!
I'd just like to emphasize the importance of reading books from areas like philosophy, psychology, science etc. as well, because opening our minds towards as many different perspectives as possible, helps us get to know ourselves better and if we look at the world as a construct of our brain based on perception, we can conclude that knowing ourselves better = knowing the world better...
In case anyone is curious what do I mean by that, here is a link to the books that are on my wishlist :D ... ( a.co/5Bp8Bm5 )
Why no books from Aaron, Ricky or Jona??
how long you want the video to be? besides, they're "new" readers. give them some time.
@@thefutur Haha fair enough (and you all know futur subscribers would watch a 90 minute interview on book recommendations :)
Melinda looks like Ryan Holiday Author of Ego is the enemy 😅
Aye Melindaaaa!
OG
Hiii!!!
Libgen all the way

I regularly read this book called Bible, it was written by a Great Author.

Ben Burns' burn rate burns.
SAD can't buy these books on TAOBAO. A Chinese here.
Check out ebooks from other sites. I dont know... but maybe you can find some there.

Greg Gunn threw out my favorite option. The Secret Lives of Color is such an amazing book!!!
