Topics include committing, planning and doing, generating mental energy, achieving a centered presence, becoming an anxiety expert, upholding your dream, and maintaining a creative life. Maisel has worked extensively with creative people - poets, filmmakers, novelists, dancers - and he revisits some of them in coaching sessions in San Francisco, Paris, London, and New York. Typical are the rock musician who wants to pursue a solo career and the screenwriter anxious to become a poet. Their examples both entertain and instruct, outlining how to discover ones personal muse - and the motivation to keep creating.

Eric Maisel speaks as the artists friend and ally. He offers powerful encouragement for people who undertake the courageous and often lonely adventure of finding, protecting, and nourishing their creative voice.

Stephen Nachmanovitch, author of Free Play, on A Life in the Arts

Eric Maisel has made a career out of helping artists, musicians, dancers, and writers cope with the traumas and troubles that are the price of admission to a creative life.... The author doesnt just name and solve some common creative problems, he calls on us to create, and to create deeply. Fearless Creating mobilizes us to think, feel, and act completely, without self-editing and self-defeating restraint.

Maisel suggests unique answers to the questions we face. I love this book and share it here at the outset of the year for artists and those who would be.

Creativity coach, writer, and psychotherapist Eric Maisel has given us a simple, easy-to-use program to spur creativity and inspiration.... Often the ideas stay with me all day, firing me on to carry out my appointed tasks. The cards are not just for writers or artists but for anyone seeking to expand, explore, or open up channels of creativity. Highly recommended.

Eric Maisel warrants special praise. He demonstrates unique sensitivity to the issues artists face and provides practical guidelines for artists whose mental health and creative outputs must be protected and promoted.

Richard Lippin,
president, International Arts-Medicine Association

Maisel intimately understands the anxieties of the creative process and the psychological landscape that artists inhabit. Strong on the psychology, Maisel is equally strong on practicalities.... What Maisel does, and does brilliantly, is explain how a book proposal can be not only a marketing tool but also an essential means for discovering what your book is about.
