Product Description
In Stoking the Creative Fires, award-winning author and filmmaker, Phil Cousineau, gives readers the tools they need to alleviate burnout and rekindle passion in all areas of their lives. Based on twenty years of teaching, Cousineau offers a multitude of stories, ideas, and exercises drawn from historical and contemporary figures, artists of all kinds, and from his own experience, to inspire readers on ways to live a passionate and creative life. Cousineau writes, "Creativity is as natural as breathing. To create is to grow, which in turn makes us feel vitally alive." Divided into three parts — Inspiration, Perspiration, and Realization — Stoking the Creative Fires brings the reader full circle through the process of creation — from the initial impulse to finding the time and tapping into the source, to focus, to be disciplined, and to deal with the fear of failure or the failure to rekindle one's resources, and finally to making it real — doing it over and over again and keeping the fires alive. Following in the footsteps of Joseph Campbell's famous injunction to "follow your bliss," Cousineau gives readers the fuel to continue their journey to find passion in Stoking the Creative Fires.
