Creative Life Errata

Oops! Here are a few things that got missed in proofreading. A couple of these are examples of how computers can make things worse instead of better

p.58, 2d. paragraph, "reeks" should be "wreaks"

p.96, 3rd paragraph, the ' in front of 'understood should not be there.

p. 98, the boxed quote at the top of the page is from an article called, "Why I Stopped Hating Shakespeare."

p. 142, the 4th paragraph, which begins with, "To give a person" is actually part of the boxed quote appearing on the next page. That entire paragraph goes at the beginning of the boxed quote. Apologies to Yamamoto-san

p. 153, 3rd paragraph, near the middle, "within a protegé" should read, "with in a protegé."

p. 156, 3rd paragraph, it's Henry Halem, not "Harlem." I know how to spell Henry's name, but the typesetter's computer didn't!

There are also a few places in some of the larger quotations where italics were deleted.
