Of all the self-doubting people in the world, nobody, it seems, doubts themselves more than creative people.

Whether creating code for a new application, painting a mural, forging a new way forward in business, or writing a book, creatives tend to suffer from more self-doubt than other humans.

Because, while creativity is demanded, it is rarely respected. Many fear the power of creative influence because they fear the unknown. Mostly, though, people fear being proven wrong in the details of their cherished worldviews. The creative impulse challenges them to see the world with fresh eyes - something most are unwilling to do, as they fear the vision itself.

In this book, you'll discover the foundation of your creativity in confidence and curiosity, and the self-validation demanded by creativity to establish these as a way of life. You'll listen about famous creatives, whose curiosity led them to truths hidden from those who deny their natural, human curiosity.

You'll also listen about transforming negative self-talk and embracing the positive. Stilling the voices that have told you that your dreams are impractical or even impossible is the first step toward living out your innate creativity.

And you'll discover the gift of curiosity. Curiosity is one of the key drivers of creativity, informing and enlivening it.

Finally, you'll listen about the mystery of creativity and the Canadian folk artist, Maud Lewis. From nothing and nowhere, this woman's completely blind belief in herself was what made her art iconic and coveted.

Free yourself from self-doubt and fear. Realize your full creative potential in its mystery, its humility, and its endless potential.
