Summary: From the Intuition Magazine review of Fearless Creating:
Review: "In Fearless Creating, Maisel offers a clear, systematic approach to creativity that fully acknowledges the role of anxiety in the pursuit of artistic excellence. The author doesn't just name and solve some creative problems, he calls on us to create, and to create deeply. Fearless Creating mobilizes you to think, feel, and act completely; it engages and changes you, like the act of creation itself."

Summary: This book works!
Review: A friend of mine recommended "Fearless Creating" and after reading just one chapter I found myself scrambling around the house, searching for paints and brushes. This book has really made a difference in my life. It helped end a ten-year creative block and changed my life.

Summary: I've Seen Better
Review: Always looking for good motivational books, this sounded like something that would fit my criteria. After reading the introduction, I'm ready to put it in the trash. It's not even worthy to resell at a garage sale. Yes, I must admit I haven't read beyond the introduction, but after reading those few pages, I'm depressed enough to want to chuck the entire writing process. I found no motivation, no encouragement and no helpful hints to organize my time or writing. Books like this help create artist's block, not help break through it!

Summary: A sophisticated look at the creative process
Review: As a coach, I work with a lot of artists (writers, actors, musicians), and this is the book I consistently recommend to them. The Artists Way is good for getting you launched, but it doesn't address the nuts and bolts challenges that you face if you want to make an income or regularly produce finished works of art. This books really looks at all aspects of being a producing artist from start to finish. It helps you pinpoint where in the process you may be getting stuck and gives concrete steps you can take to move forward.

Summary: Maisel's ""Fearless Creating" helpful, thorough
Review: Eric Maisel's "Fearless Creating" is thorough and tough-minded, brooking no excuses for failure to start and follow-through the creative work, yet gently tolerant of the blocked artist's vulnerabilities and limitations. The book's only shortcoming is the silliness of some of the exercises, but this is easy to overlook in view of the book's overall helpfulness. It will be especially useful to the reader who resists the New Age, spiritual approach common to the genre.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I found this book to be lacking in creativity. While some of the exercises in the book were useful in getting me started writing, parts of the book put me to sleep, which did nothing to enhance my creative process. I recommend "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg for anyone wishing to write more creatively.

Summary: This is a wonderful writers companion.
Review: I have found this book very useful. It is a great companion, and a bit of a nag (which can be a wonderful thing if you aren't confident enough in your work to egg yourself on past all the little tricks for not getting down to buisness.) Maisel has managed to make this book into a friend that gives the writer a friendly lot of ideas to help in the tough process of coming to grips with the work she wants to accomplish.

Summary: Best book on the creative process!
Review: I've read many books on creativity and Eric Maisel describes it as no one else has. FEARLESS CREATING takes you through the steps of the creative process, predicts the typical anxieties and pitfalls, and offers specific suggestions to get past them. I especially liked his explanation for attending to your rhythms as your work and distinguishing between needed quiet time and using quiet to avoid the inevitable anxiety of creating. As an author, I found Maisel's principles and advice to resonate with my experience. Working on an outline for my next book as I read, I found the book inspirational and fun as well as reassuring. If you liked Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY, you'll love this book as much as I did. I am recommending it to all my creative friends.
