Coaching The Artist Within shows people how to become more effective creators by guiding them through 12 self-coaching lessons. Eric Maisel writes each lesson with a novelist’s flair, as a narrative complete with examples, exercises, and questions to help readers explore underlying issues that may be keeping them from pursuing their urge to create. Topics include committing, planning and doing, generating mental energy, achieving a centred presence, becoming an anxiety expert, upholding your dream, and maintaining a creative life.
