Most of the conventional productivity advice you'll find in the soft business section simply does not work for creative people. Surprisingly, to date there has not been a single book or audiobook that addresses the unique organisational challenges that artists face. This audiobook sets out to change that, and it addresses the myth that truly creative people are messy and that they need mess in order to create. Sheila Chandra applies her professional insights as a creative and organizing expert to the lives of other busy creative people in all disciplines.

The greatest creators in human history - from Mozart to Meryl Streep, Jackson Pollock to Jay Z - don't just have talent - they also understand their motivations for pursuing art. What's Your Creative Type? helps artists do the same in a fun and witty way. Stepping away from the hyperfocus on how people create, What's Your Creative Type? instead explores why. By identifying your creative motivation type, you'll be able to find renewed energy, overcome creative blocks, and release the artist within.

Dopo anni trascorsi tra letture per gli editori, valutazione di manoscritti, scrittura di articoli, racconti, recensioni e critiche, Dorothea Brande ha cominciato a insegnare scrittura creativa partendo dal fatto che le difficoltà dello studente medio o dello scrittore dilettante iniziano molto prima che egli arrivi al punto di poter beneficiare delle tecniche vere e proprie dell'arte dello scrivere.

Come superare gli ostacoli della vita, come costruirsi un'alternativa quando manca una soddisfazione vera per ciò che si fa o si è; superare i momenti di stallo in cui tutti prima o poi capitiamo; respingere gli eccessi che vengono dall'"outside" o dall'"inside" e recuperare un buon equilibrio; costruirsi nuove esperienze superando vecchie abitudini o credenze radicate ma limitanti, ovvero - appunto - l'Elemento Neutro nella nostra vita.

Leonardo Da Vinci fu considerato un "illetterato" nel lontano 1470. E grazie a questo libro, stai per scoprire come il più grande genio creativo della storia imparò a pensare fuori dagli schemi, approcciare i problemi nel modo corretto, elaborare idee innovative avanti anni luce rispetto al suo tempo. Ecco che quindi la domanda sorge spontanea: Geni si nasce o si diventa?

Zu den Grundvoraussetzungen für ein erfülltes, harmonisches und sinnvolles Leben gehört die Verwirklichung der eigenen Lebensziele, Träume und Wünsche. Stellen Sie sich die Welt vor, in der sich alle Ihre Wünsche und Vorhaben verwirklicht haben. Die Pläne Ihres Lebens werden real. Was Sie denken können, das können Sie auch in Händen halten. Unmöglich? Dass dies alles andere als unmöglich ist und auf welche genial einfache Weise es sich umsetzen lässt, zeigt das Prinzip Schöpfer-Ich.

Sein willst du als kreativer Mensch vieles: erfolgreich, glücklich, frei, reich und mehr. Aber kennst du das? Du weißt eigentlich gar nicht, was das alles konkret für dich bedeutet. Du weißt nicht wirklich, was du willst, du schiebst deine Träume auf oder du hältst an deinen guten Vorsätzen nicht auf Dauer fest. Die fehlende Klarheit und schlechte Gewohnheiten bzw. schlechte Systeme sind die häufigsten Gründe, warum wir im Leben nicht das erreichen, was wir wollen und unglücklich sind. Glaube mir: Ich kenne diese Hürden selbst nur zu gut.

Nur wir Menschen sind in der Lage, unsere Lebenswelt immer besser nach unseren eigenen Vorstellungen zu gestalten. Indem wir uns aber immer perfekter an die so gestaltete Lebenswelt anpassen, verlieren wir allzu leicht auch unsere Fähigkeit, immer wieder nach neuen Wegen zu suchen und dabei aus den eigenen Fehlern zu lernen. Doch: Wir sind frei, wir haben die Wahl. Wir können diese selbstverständlich gewordenen Vorstellungen hinterfragen, wir können sie loslassen und uns entscheiden, unser Leben und unser Zusammenleben anders zu gestalten.
