The Power of Daily Practice: How Creative and Performing Artists (and Everyone Else) Can Finally Mee

Anyone who has ever picked up a creativity or self-help guide has likely been advised to keep to a daily schedule, daily pages, or other everyday ritual. But 'just do it' usually just doesn't work. Longtime creativity coach and therapist Eric Maisel has found an approach that does work: giving clients, and now listeners, a clear understanding of what makes them personally blocked or stuck and unable to start or finish. Not enough time, resources, or talent? Fear of success, guilt about being 'selfish,' and variations on the theme of 'what's the point?' Maisel has spent thirty years helping people overcome these kinds of blocks with skills including anxiety management, positive self-talk, cognitive behavioral therapy, and even 'sleep thinking.' The tools Maisel offers are a potent alternative to waiting for the spirit to move or the muse to inspire: a sustainable, self-directed path to success.

Settled

What would happen if Israelis moved en masse to a location where their children could grow up in peace and prosperity? And what if Jews from around the world began to join them? Could a single man create this historic exodus? How would the world react? What forces might be unleashed as the idea of a second Israel begins to take hold? Follow David Cohen from the moment he survives a suicide bombing in Jerusalem to the fateful day when he sets foot onto the island that will become New Israel. Live the epic adventure that may foreshadow world headlines. Settled is more than a novel about Israel and the Jews; it examines how a lone individual can make a difference. In a world where untold millions are wondering why there isn’t more to life, Settled provides a blueprint for individual engagement. It announces to readers that although creating a second Israel may not be among your important life purposes, what is? On one hand, Settled is an odyssey of adventure, chronicling the creation of a second Israel. At the same time, it is a novel of life purpose and meaning. Settled happens to be about Israel and the Jews, but it is fundamentally about how we can all live in the twenty-first century, create our own meaning, and decide on our own life purposes. “Eric Maisel’s psychological approach sets his work apart from the many inspirational and how-to writers on the market today.”—Library Journal, praise for the author
