From Creativity:
Paul Arden, an eccentric, revered creative responsible for some of the U.K.’s most popular advertising during his 14 years as Saatchi & Saatchi’s executive creative director, died Tuesday of a heart attack.
Mr. Arden, 67, left Saatchi in 1993 to start a film production company, Arden Sutherland Dodd, but continued to influence younger creatives with his first book, “It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be,” a best-seller published in 2003.
It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be is a great little read. I highly recommend it, and its follow-up, Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite.
He was so good. What was wrong with him? Why did he die?
