by Bryan Hutchinson , Joe Bunting , Joan Faith Hutchinson

( 110 )

You've read plenty of books on how to become a better writer, how to get unblocked, and how to find the muse, but you've never read a book like this before. Are you ready to deal with and overcome what's been holding you back?

Have you ever felt you were meant for more as a writer, as an artist, and, as a person?

Don't let doubt, or fear, or any person other than yourself decide whether you have a future as a writer.

Bryan Hutchinson was told by teachers he would never be a writer. As a child, he had to take a remedial reading and writing class because he could barely write a full sentence. One editor told him his book would never be published.

And yet Bryan is now a bestselling author whose books have been read by hundreds of thousands of people and praised by experts in the field. His blog, Positive Writer, wins awards and his highly acclaimed, helping writers around the world do what they were meant to do, write.

All writers doubt their ability. But Bryan's story shows doubt and fear don't have to define your writing future. In this part-memoir, part kick-in-the-pants, Bryan will show you how to live out your passion, write a book, and become an author, no matter if the so-called "experts" tell you that you can't.

*Includes: additional references and resources, and bonus chapters on publishing, blogging and marketing.

Inspired Writer: How to Create Magic With Your Words Sep 10, 2016

by Bryan Hutchinson

( 43 )

$9.99

This book is not what you're expecting. It's a short, little book designed to offer you unique ideas on how to be inspired and find your muse. However, it's not a safe book. It's not about following style guides, grammar rules, and coloring in the lines. Far from it. It's about going to the next level, past the learning stages of basic grammar, past the ruthless and futile determination to appear perfect in one's writing. Although the focus is on writing, one can apply the methods presented to any art form.

HAPPY EVERY DAY: 26 Simple and Effective Ways to Better Days that Work Sep 19, 2013

by Bryan Hutchinson , Joan Faith Hutchinson , Dana Sitar , Jeff Goins

( 122 )

$9.99

Being happy every day is nearly impossible for most people, but in his new book, “Happy Every Day-Simple, Effective Ways to Better Days”, Bryan Hutchinson presents practical ways to capitalize on those every day moments and opportunities that we may be missing to be happier than we ever thought possible.

Bryan lays out 26 strategies to becoming a happier person from his life experiences that helped him overcome a painful childhood of disappointment and regret. He doesn’t promise any quick fixes or cures for depression or anxiety, but he does suggest that if a person wants to be happier in their daily life, that it is attainable simply by increasing our own personal awareness of what we already have or have accomplished.

Some of the strategies he presents in the chapters: ‘Laugh at Your Mistakes’, ‘Gratitude’, and ‘Affirmations’ aren’t anything groundbreaking or what we haven’t read or heard already, but his approach is. He writes in an uncomplicated, positive style, including anecdotes from his experiences, without the dry, disconnected psycho babble of many self-help books. His tone throughout the book is sincere and personal as though he is sharing down-to-earth advice with a friend.

“Happy Every Day” is a book that you can read straight through or start at any chapter that may interest you. There are writing/journaling exercises relevant to each chapter that you can do at the end or come back to do anytime.

The chapters, ‘Inspiration ‘and ‘Fail, To be Happy’, are particularly thought provoking that include unexpected ways (and unique journal exercises) to becoming a happier person.

With ‘Inspiration’, the author asks us to think and write about what some of the highest achieving athletes, writers and entertainers have gone through to get to where they are today. ‘Fail, To be Happy’ is one of the most compelling chapters in Bryan’s book. This chapter emphasizes the importance of not succeeding at everything and not being perfect. What? How can failing help a person find happiness? The author suggests it can by giving you an opportunity to grow as a person and learn from your mistakes, driving you to succeed at something greater.

Hutchinson’s easy going style and positive approach makes, “Happy Every Day” less of a how-to book on happiness, but more of why-not guide to happiness.
