Think like the 1% is about how you are holding yourself back from achieving your greatest potential and developing your own economy. It is about knowing what the 1% knows and how to change your choices and behaviour to become an economic powerhouse. The book was written by a man who was considered less likely to succeed, from the shallow end of the 99% pool and how he launched himself forward by finding out what the 1% knows. There are practical exercises and ideas about how you can start today toward becoming the 1%.

Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
