Now onto some real discussion. This has been out for a few days. Sagmeister is releasing a new book about the 'things he learned so far' etc and has a show on the Detich Projects gallery on now.
The comments here are pretty interesting.

He's a conceptual thinker. I just recently got into his work, and I hold it in high regard despite rumors of his self absorbed nature.
But i noticed something the other day when this link was posted.
http://www.bantjes.com/index.php…He commissioned 'bantjes' to do this piece for his book. Not sure if the book is a collaboration of several designers takes on Sagmeisters diary notes or if he is commissioning others.
I hope it's a collaboration.
- well, she's worked with him on several things as well as collaborated on many projects too.menos

Agreed. I remember seeing Stefan's speech on TED where he touched on this topic and being blown away. I've already pre-ordered the book.

love sagmeister, no for the work but for the nice man he is.

I can say from personal experience that he is very nice, and I quite like most if not all of his work. I admire his approach to running a design practice.

The 2nd comment (on that site) sums up my first impression about it.

I got a banana in the mail about two weeks ago for the show openning at the Detich Projects. Was pretty cool

22. It's always the jealous, jaded, envious and attention starved designers that bash on those who are more successful and who will be remembered and written about.

Best comment on the creative review page:

I love the comment response to the number 10 lesson of life. Money Doesnt make me happy. Here is the response:
"money does not make sagmeister happy but it does allow him to have an ‘experimental year’..."
Now that is some funny shit.
