The Power of Creativity \(Book 1\): Learning How to Build Lasting Habits, Face Your Fears and Change Your Life pdfdrive com

Who This Book is For
It’s the first in a three-part series about creativity, which I wrote for new writers,
musicians, filmmakers, and artists.

---

This book, in particular, is for anyone who has ever thought “I have a hard
time  being  creative”  or  “I  would  like  to  discover  my  passion”  or  even  “the
prospects of my work being rejected is terrifying”.
If you’re an artist adrift, I wrote this book for you.
I’m  not  all  sunshine,  rainbows  and  lollipops,  so  if  you’re  looking  for  a
shortcut to a six-figure paycheque or a glittering review in the New  Yorker,  get
out now.
I’d  love  a  shortcut  as  much  as  the  next  person,  you  will  find  none  here.
You’re still going to have to do the hard work. As I’ve learned firsthand, when
your eyes are bloodshot, your fingers callused and your back aching, you’re still
on the hook for working on your ideas, for stepping forwards.
Oh, and here’s the thing:
When  I  read  books  that  tackle  subjects  like  creativity,  I’m  struck  by  how
distant the writer is from his or her research, and how dry the material reads.
It’s  as  if  a  SERIOUS  topic  like  creativity  warrants  objective  distance  and
emotional detachment. Yet, reader loses when an author’s detachment results in
dry prose devoid of storytelling and steeped in research and critical analysis.
Regardless  of  whether  the  material  between  the  covers  is  worth  the  slog,
those books are just not much fun to read.
I don’t want you to lose.
So  you’ll  find  my  story,  my  fears,  my  struggles,  my  wins  and  my  setbacks
woven through these pages. I’ve put as much of myself and as many illuminating
stories about habit-building, conquering your fears and nurturing your creativity
into this book as possible.
But, you’ve been waiting long enough.
So, let’s begin.
