Ep411 - Christopher Glatis, Filmmaker & Author ‘When Your Mind Screams’

In ‘When Your Mind Screams,’ filmmaker and lifelong personal growth enthusiast Christopher Glatis explores anxiety from the lens of a creative, demonstrating how anxiety makes us feel fearful and stressed in an effort to help, though it’s actually doing anything but. In fact, the instinct to run from anxiety’s uncomfortable sensations does more harm than good. Glatis explains how reworking your response to anxiety—not fighting it—is the key to recovery. In addition to discussing Christopher’s book, in this interview we also talk about using imagination for good and evil, how to find the low-hanging fruit as a filmmaker, why you don’t need permission to be a creative, advice from Steven Pressfield, and we talk some action steps on how creatives can deal with anxiety.
