A funny, inspiring and practical guide to freeing yourself from creative blocks, not taking yourself too seriously, and unlocking your inner creativity. It's full of Hansen's humorous work anecdotes but it is also replete with tangible and actionable methods that anybody can use to become creatively productive and rediscover the joy in creating.

You need to be unhappy with the status quo, have an exciting vision for the future, and determine practical and concrete first steps. That’s what scores of people, myself included, identify when we want to change something. 

At first, I’d say yes to everything — meetings are really valuable when you’re starting off. But I reached a point where I was letting myself get scheduled on six to eight hours of phone calls a day. And when I looked at them, I couldn’t identify what the positive outcomes were — and more importantly, I didn’t enjoy doing it.

Identifying and getting to know your resistance, especially the parts that get triggered and stop you in your tracks, is how you’ll begin to go beyond what you thought was possible, and appreciate and relate to yourself more fully.
