This conversation is for anyone who realizes that expressing our creativity is an act of courage especially in the world of distraction we live in today.

Eric Maisel is the author of more than 50 books. His most popular books include Fearless Creating, The Van Gogh’s Blues, Coaching the Artist Within, and The Atheist’s Way.

His expertise embraces anything related to creativity and the creative life. He founded the profession of creativity coaching with training and certification programs.

Eric has a background as a psychotherapist and he extends his interest in creativity to issues of life purpose and meaning; mental health and critical psychology; he also writes and teaches about parenting in a “mental disorder” age. 

I've came to know Eric while embarking in his creativity coaching certification. What I particularly liked about teachings is that he addresses the human creative life as a holistic journey. When we come in touch with our innate creative force we open up an enormous potential for personal growth. He addresses the practical, psychological, spiritual and even political realms of the creative life.
