Really enjoyed this book and expect to go back to it again and again. My one quibble is that the affirmations don't seem up to the latest research on self-affirmations; but this is an older book and that's easily overlooked. There's lots of good stuff in here. I especially loved the chapters Creating in the Middle of Things and Becoming an Anxiety Expert. There is no greater Creativity Coach than Eric Maisel, who understands that we are all our own reasons for not being more productive. Eric is an accomplished and revered psychiatrist, and offers real solutions and activities to help us stay on our best behavior. His centering exercise aids me at my worst of times...but it only works because I refuse not to make meaning in my life due to fear. Eric taught me that! Written for any type of creative person, Coaching the Artist Within contains strategies to help deal with everyday struggles many artists go through when it comes to being creative (anxiety, negative self-talk, creating in the middle of things, achieving balance, etc.). Some parts of the book I’ve already put into practice, others I’m still working on and probably will be for a long time. This book will continue to live on my writing bookshelf because I’ll read it over and over again.

Creativity Coaching Essentials shows people how to become more effective creators by guiding them through 12 self-coaching lessons. Eric Maisel, a leading creativity coach, writes each lesson with a novelist's flair, as a narrative complete with examples, exercises, and questions to help readers explore and reflect on underlying issues that may be keeping them from pursuing their urge to create. 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 one's personal muse -- and the motivation to keep creating. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Maisel addresses the issues all artists face with plenty of compassion, but he doesn't sugar-coat the important issues, either. He makes it abundantly clear that hard work is needed to succeed, and he's not afraid to give artists a good kick in the behind to get them moving again. Perhaps most important of all is the way he encourages each of us to become our own creativity coaches. Empowering and motivating, COACHING THE ARTIST WITHIN is a must-read for anyone struggling to find meaning in his or her creative work. (A) ( )
