Anxious? “not good enough”? stuck with a brain that just won't cooperate?
ME TOO… so i wrote a book about it!
combining insights from behavioral economics, humor and personal experience to help us thrive
“no magic bullet solution exists to thriving creatively with an anxious mind. this right here, however, is what comes closest.”
“self-hate is not actionable feedback.”
“just because we feel like shit, doesn’t mean we are shit. We are not ouR feelings. ”
“shame is a feisty, insidious, deep-rooted motherfucker. bitch’ll fight back viciously.”
“we should not let the fear of disappointment stop us from trying. art is terrifying, frustrating, overwhelming… but fun damn it. fun.”
“WE CANNOT LOSE OUR SMARTS BECAUSE SOMEONE BOMBARDS US WITH EVIL PSYCHOKINETIC ENVY-DRIVEN EYE BEAMS… AS METAL AS THAT SOUNDS.”
