Art of Grey Area Thinking: Helping Young People Fight Extremism, Manipulation, and Abuse - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Jimmy is a fool who does his best to be less of a fool each day. He wrote "Art of Grey Area Thinking" after traveling to war zones to serve as a humanitarian. Spending time in a warzone was the ultimate grey area experience for Jimmy, who had already spent his life navigating chaos.

Although Jimmy comes from an academic background and is thorough with his research, he throws that shit out the window when he begins writing. He is at his best when he is unhinged. His rawness comes from a multitude of life experiences: combat sports, humanitarian work, journalism, design strategy, battling mental illness, escaping cults, surviving a mass shooting, and more.

Aby is one of the highest-rated freelance editors in the Fiverr online community. She brought much-needed British discipline to "Art of Grey Area Thinking." Her calm, gentle character anchored Jimmy's reckless energy and allowed him to stay unleashed without hurting himself.

Ulyana is a young Ukrainian design prodigy who lives 15 miles away from the Russian front lines. She designed the cover art for the "Art of Grey Area Thinking" while facing daily bombardment from Russian missiles, artillery, and rocket fire. She experienced frequent blackouts, water, and gas shortages.

At one point, Ulyana was sleeping outside due to air anxiety (the fear of being trapped in should a bomb hit your house).

Dmytro (Dmitri) is a Ukrainian artist living in Italy. He has worked at every level of illustration.

Many years ago, he was friends with now-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensk. Young Zelenksy was first starting out his comedic career. Their friendship ended when Dmytro almost got his future president killed in a reckless driving incident.
