Review ARTisms

ARTisms: The Words, Phrases, and Emotions That Started a Movement… wow, what a journey this book took me on! It's not just a business book; it's a deeply personal and inspiring story of leadership, mentorship, and the power of human connection. Rusty Crossland doesn't just tell you what to do; he shows you how, weaving together personal anecdotes, powerful quotes, and practical strategies gleaned from decades of experience in the financial services industry.

The book's strength lies in its authenticity. Rusty's storytelling is captivating; you feel like you're sitting across from him, sharing a cup of coffee as he recounts the triumphs and challenges he's faced, all while learning from the legendary Art Williams’ wisdom. He doesn't shy away from the grit and the struggle, painting a realistic picture of what it takes to build a successful business – and, more importantly, a meaningful life. The emphasis on genuine relationships, on truly valuing and “pushing up” the people around you, resonated deeply with me. It’s a refreshing change from the often cold and transactional approach we see in many business books.

The concepts presented aren’t just limited to the financial world. The principles of building strong relationships, fostering a culture of encouragement, and leading with purpose are universally applicable, whether you're running a Fortune 500 company or leading a small team, or even just navigating personal relationships. The emphasis on creating balance in the four life sectors – health, wealth, spirit, and fun – struck a particularly powerful chord with me, reinforcing the importance of holistic well-being, a concept often overlooked in the relentless pursuit of success.

What truly sets ARTisms apart is its heart. It's clear that Rusty's passion for mentorship and his commitment to giving back are the driving forces behind this book. The decision to donate all proceeds to the R.H. Crossland Foundation underscores this commitment, adding another layer of meaning and purpose to the reading experience. It’s a testament to the values he champions – values that extend far beyond the boardroom.

I found the book incredibly easy to read and engaging, a testament to Rusty's clear and concise writing style. The personal stories interspersed throughout the text not only illustrate the points he’s making but also make the book incredibly relatable and memorable. I finished ARTisms feeling inspired, motivated, and with a renewed appreciation for the importance of genuine human connection in achieving both personal and professional success. It’s a book I’ll be revisiting often, not just for the valuable insights it offers, but for the spirit of generosity and empowerment that permeates every page. Highly recommended!
