A challenge of discipline and creative thinking, The 365 Project
chronicles one designer's attempt to make something every day for a
year. This printed edition of Bryn Hobson's original blog includes
all 365 daily projects and new captions about the process for each
one-perhaps perfect inspiration to start a side project of your
own.
It is a common misconception that memory decays with age. This can
only happen when a person does not use their memory properly. A
person's memory is just like a muscle. The more it is used, the
stronger it gets. When neglected, it atrophies and becomes weak.
This is why people often struggle with memory as they age. If a
person instead chooses to continue learning new things in their
later years, practices memory-improving exercises, keeps their
imagination alive and allows themselves to be open to new
experiences, they can prevent this from happening. There are three
different kinds of memory and This book explains it all. What seems
like such a simplistic function is actually a quite complicated
process. A series of neural connections in the brain hold an
unbelievable amount of data. When you have the ability to access
this data in an organized fashion, you have a heightened ability to
create and learn new ideas. Each time you have a new experience and
your mind can recall this information, it serves as both a road map
to success and a warning sign for danger.
Carlos A. Santiago, a former military interrogator and former
senior instructor at the U.S. Army's interrogation school, has
spent years "breaking" detainees and training other interrogators
how to quickly go beyond masks and defense mechanisms to break the
resolve of the most hardened terrorists and criminals. Along the
way, he has developed a unique perspective on human nature, about
what makes us susceptible to the will of others - what makes us
both vulnerable and invincible. In Your Indestructible Core, Carlos
A. Santiago reveals how to reverse our social conditioning and make
us "unbreakable" in life. Your Indestructible Core challenges our
views on pain, fear, anger and our social conditioning to become
slaves of the opinions of others. This book will help you uncover
your deepest drives - those impulses the world has been using to
control and regulate us and will teach you how to take charge of
your deepest core, once and for all.
"A must-read for any aspiring or seasoned writer." --Huffington
Post We all have the call to create. The question is...why don't we
answer it? We all come pre-loaded with a creative spark that drives
us to innovate, explore, express, and make our unique contribution
to the world. Often, though, that drive doesn't get us very far
down the road before it runs right smack into resistance--the
mysterious force that thwarts creativity. But resistance needn't be
the enemy of writing--or any other creative endeavor. Deb Norton's
Part Wild provides fun and practical ways to turn resistance into a
creative asset. Whether it presents as doubt, perfectionism, or
Deb's favorite: a chorus of withering inner critics, the power of
resistance can be leveraged to launch the creative process with
real momentum. Once we harness resistance, we can let our creative
impulses off the leash. Norton has turned a decade of sold-out
writing retreats and private coaching into a process for powering
up your creative ideas. In Part Wild, she shares dozens of
illuminating and effective practices and quick-start prompts that
are guaranteed to get us out of our heads and onto the page. Just
as The Artist's Way gave millions of readers permission to explore
their creative side, Part Wild shows writers of all levels of
experience and skill how to harness the electrifying power of
resistance and get writing.
