His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits.

Success is something that many of us are encouraged to pursue from a young age - but what defines 'success'? Many people are taught to set goals in pursuit of a generic definition of success that is dictated by society: chase money, pass exams, build profile, attract followers, or generate likes.

The Modern Maverick sets out a roadmap for a different way forward.

At the same time, however, people should be averse to bloat, bureaucracy, and everything that comes with achieving a certain level of inert mass.
