"A must read for those struggling to let their creative juices flow."
John J Ratey, MD, author of A Users Guide to the Brain and Spark

"The perfect book to read if you experience a dry spell in your creativity. A step-by-step path to inspiration."
Armando Gallo, photographer and member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Board of Directors

"This book is simply amazing! I love the way it translates powerful psychological concepts into extremely user-friendly language and applies them brilliantly to creativity. It is reassuring, encouraging, inspiring--and immensely creative"
Doris Brothers, PhD, author of Toward a Psychology of Uncertainty

"Dr. Paris's book could not have arrived at a better moment: I was cut off from my creativity, sad over lost love, and afraid I'd never feel that rush of immersion again. Her stories and suggestions were very helpful and helped me move forward, but here is why you must buy this book: Dr. Paris brilliantly explores how our fears and blocks prevent us from entering the creative immersion we all crave."
Jennifer Louden, The Woman's Comfort Book and The Life Organizer

"This book combines insights gained from contemporary psychoanalytic theory with practical "hands-on" recommendations for encouraging creativity. Reading this book will reward not only artists but also all those who desire to express themselves in new ways but do not know how or where to begin. As a psychoanalyst deeply involved in the study of creativity, I consider this book as serving an important function in tapping a variety of creative resources."
Anna Ornstein, MD, Professor Emerita, Child Psychiatry, University of Cincinnati Lecturer in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
