“

If you asked a group of Porsche owners what they wanted they’d tell you things like “smoother ride, more trunk space, more leg room, etc.” He’d then say “well, they just designed a Volvo.”

Coaching the Artist Within: Advice for Writers, Actors, Visual Artists, and Musicians

Written by Martin in't Veld in February 2009
 

Written by leading creativity coach Eric Maisel, this book offers many ways to manage, train and maintain the ‘artist within’. Coaching the Artist Within provides ample examples and lessons of building and maintaining a creative lifestyle – one that is bound to create the inspiration you need, and provide meaning in your work. Eric Maisel writes well and makes this self education book into a useful program to nourish your right brain. Must read material for any aspiring artist or creative.

Loved it because:

  • Practical tips and lessons that are meant to actively train and improve your creativity
  • Eric Maisel is a well-recognized creativity coach, and brings the necessary experience to ensure these lessons deliver on their promise
  • The book offers many insights into alternative forms of art such as dancing, acting, creating music, or any other creative field you may not be familiar with

You might not like it because:

  • The book demands more than just reading, and when followed to the letter, will make an impact by doing minor daily exercises to build and maintain a creative lifestyle
