How to get over not getting everything you want the moment you want to get it?

As I live my life with my heart open and brain tuned to awe the emerging record of it approach is my art.


Four years ago, I published a book via Amazon print-on-demand as another flirtation with e-commerce art. It was titled: How to get over not getting everything you want the moment you want to get it?: Non-existent self help book my M M Cap


I actually put this query into Google. "How to get over not getting what you want". I was hoping to find a self-help book to solve all my problems, but I didn't. To ease my pain, I decided to design a cover for a such a book.

Initially, it was intended just to be a mock-up of a cover for the book I wish existed. Deep in the process of creation, I managed to detach from the frustration with reality I was experiencing hence found my answer. I went on to design the content of the book as a meditative experience for the reader. 
I considered the listing on Amazon self-publish section to be the final shape of this artwork. However, it can expand beyond that once ordered, printed and read by a human, initiating the same detachment for them.


Its content were words: "I don’t know yet" sliding down and up the page. 




Last week I did it again. How to get over not getting everything you want the moment you want to get it vol 2?: Detachment exercise book hosts and actually hopes to share the only way I found so far.


At this point, I need to be honest with myself and presume that in the coming years I will become even wiser.


I went ahead and categorised the books as a series. I wonder how soon I will come up with the next solution. Or start getting everything I want the moment I want to get it?











Listing for Vol 2.
