CHI FOR YOURSELF guest: Eric Maisel

Our Chi For Yourself guest, creativity coach Eric Maisel, has worked with MacArthur fellows, best-selling authors, and Academy Award winners; teenagers who are just starting out; unrecognized painters, writers, and musicians who bring love and commitment to each new project, despite their lack of marketplace success; and creators in every conceivable set of circumstances. Throughout his career, Maisel has written more than 40 books on a far reaching range of topics that empower and educate artists and creative types. In "Making Your Creative Mark:Nine Keys to Achieving Your Artistic Goals", he distills his knowledge and practical wisdom into nine keys- such as Passion, Confidence, Empathy, Stress, and Relationship- that show creators how to unlock their challenges and implement real and effective solutions.
