Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.

If everyone wants to live a happy and successful life, why do so few achieve it? This simple question launched a multi-year, multi-million dollar research project searching for the commonalities of happy and successful people. After thousands of hours of research, 400 interviews, and the deconstruction of over 100 books, the results are astounding. So what do happy and successful people have in common? Well, it's not whether they grew up in a loving home or a broken home, or whether they were rich or poor....

In Happy Derren Brown explores changing concepts of happiness - from the surprisingly modern wisdom of the Stoics and Epicureans in classical times right up until today, when the self-help industry has attempted to claim happiness as its own. He shows how many of self-help’s suggested routes to happiness and success – such as positive thinking, self-belief and setting goals – can be disastrous to follow and, indeed, actually cause anxiety. Happy aims to reclaim happiness and to enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory.

Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi reveals what leads to these moments - be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab - so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his 30 years of research, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process.

Publisher's summary
Please note: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.
Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear.
Includes a summary of the book, review, analysis & key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section. Preview: Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic is her ode to creativity and inspiration. Gilbert, who's garnered acclaim most famously for her book Eat Pray Love, seeks to impart to listeners that the act of artistic creation does not have be a tortured, complicated process: it's better to just do, and worry about questions of merit or quality only once a work is actually finished. Gilbert opens the audiobook with an anecdote on Jack Gilbert, a poet with no relationship to the author, and only a fraction of her notoriety and success. Rejecting fame and fortune in favor of focusing and honing in on his craft, the author uses the poet's example to lay out the central premise of Big Magic. Namely, as laid out by one of Jack Gilbert's quoted passages - "We must risk delight. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world." Producing art for art's sake in an indifferent world constitutes an act of bravery unto itself.
