Sounds interesting and quite useful as a source of inspiration and encouragement to center yourself and "just do it"! I understand how helpful it can be from experience, because authors do kind of space out and live in the world of their character to make the story truly believable. Thank you for your recommendation and congratulations on BOTD!

This book will definitely be a great asset for writers and help improve their writing process whether or not they deal with writer's block. However, I don't read nonfiction, so I'll skip this one.

I enjoyed the author's style. It was light and conversational, and contained, at least in the first chapter, many quotes to demonstrate the point. I agree with the author's point that creativity happens when we stop thinking, and meditation is one interesting method of doing that.
