This kind of obsessing gets us like a hamster on a wheel nowhere. But as noted creativity expert Eric Maisel asserts obsessing productively leads to fulfillment rather than frustration. A productive obsession whether an idea for a novel a business or a vaccine is chosen deliberately and pursued with determination. In this provocative practical guide Maisel coaches you to use the tendency to obsess to your creative advantage fulfilling both your promise and your promises to yourself.
