AN OWNER'S MANUAL FOR YOUR BRAIN

It’s true: a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Yet that’s what we do when we spend our weekend--and neurons--reliving a workplace squabble, spend a family visit chewing over childhood issues, or spend hours beating ourselves up when someone brings one of our own long-held (but never worked on) ideas to fruition. This kind of obsessing gets us, like a hamster on a wheel, nowhere. But as noted creativity expert Eric Maisel asserts, obsessing productively leads to fulfillment rather than frustration. A productive obsession, whether an idea for a novel, a business, or a vaccine, is chosen deliberately and pursued with determination. In this provocative, practical guide, Maisel coaches you to use the tendency to obsess to your creative advantage, fulfilling both your promise and your promises to yourself.

ERIC MAISEL, PHD, is a psychotherapist and the author of many books, including Coaching the Artist Within and Fearless Creating. He is a columnist for Art Calendar magazine, a creativity coach, and a trainer of coaches, and he leads workshops nationwide and online.

ANN MAISEL is a former teacher and school administrator who is now engaged in researching the productive obsessions of historical and contemporary figures. They live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
