About this listen
Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success – it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer.
** A Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Bestseller **
Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition.
The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill—it's a habit available to everyone: beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life.
Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis’s memorable “IDEA” system:
- Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create—or become—in this world.
- Design a daily practice that supports that dream—and a life of expression and transformation.
- Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real.
- Amplify your impact through a supportive community you’ll learn to grow and nurture.

Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.

Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness go hand in hand in improving your mental health and offer new ways to strengthen your emotional well-being. It’s so easy to let your mind slip destructively and allow it to run from thought to thought and worry to worry. It's time to challenge and educate yourself with approaches that work. CBT and mindfulness are quickly becoming the most popular tools in the field of psychology. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness: 2 in 1 Bundle, you will dive into what it takes to process your thoughts through CBT.

It’s like listening to Brené Brown. He is transparent and vulnerable, and that is what I need to hear right now. Not a theory but experience. Not a glorified persona, but a person.
I’m rating this audiobook this highly because it is exactly what I was looking for.

I’m someone who doesn’t believe they are creative and often have a conflict when wanting to do creative things. It was kind of drummed into me as I grew up that this is frivolous stuff. It was so refreshing to hear that it isn’t. Creativity is in all of us and we need to allow ourselves to be creative. The more we allow ourselves to do so the more creative we will be. This makes us a more rounded person.
The narration by Chase was also awesome. I really like books narrated by the author and Chase was very inspiring.
Highly Recommended
