Everyone wants to be more creative. Being creative makes life more fun and interesting. But many believe the common misconception that creativity is something you are born with and others can only envy.

In Change Your Mind, Rod Judkins reveals that creative people are no more creative than the rest of us. Rather, their gift is that they believe they are creative, and because of this, they are. Many of these people lack traditional artistic abilities (Francis Bacon couldn't draw, so he didn't; Andy Warhol couldn't paint, so he didn't) but that doesn't stop them. This self-belief accounts for 90 per cent of their success. Creativity is a skill that everyone can learn and benefit from, whether you re trying to start your own business, write music, come up with new ideas at work or just change your way of looking at the world.

Follow theses 57 insider tips, which include nuggets of wisdom such as the importance of focus, why you should never wait for inspiration and how you should always turn a failure into success. With real-life insights into the minds of writers, artists and musicians, from Picasso to Paul McCartney, Change Your Mind will unlock the creative genius you always knew you were.

Review:

This book is here to bolster just such a positive outlook when it comes to creative thinking.It s a pleasure to read and I m fairly sure it will get those creative juices flowing. --ameliasmagazine.com

With the seemingly endless fad for self-improvement ever-present on bookshelves, it is very easy to just think this is another generic self-help title. WhyChange Your Mindis so valuable is because it does more than just show what creative people did; instead, it reveals the fundamental mind-sets these people had. Still, how does this help? Well, as it becomes a more accepted view that everyone can be more than they are through mind-set alone, Judkins goes one step further and shows how the fifty-seven key attributes and thought processes of some of the most creative people ever known can be applied to everyday life...the book is far easier to engage with than similar tomes... --theyoungcreatives.wordpress.com
