Artistic Badassery: How to Unblock and Become a Creative Force of Nature

By Marni Freedman

A refreshing solution to unlocking creativity that challenges the conventional mindset rooted in a hustle and comparison culture through the ancient practice of mindfulness.

Drawing on over two hundred studies that reveal how mindfulness calms the mind, enhances focus, reduces anxiety, and fosters self-compassion, this practical book empowers readers to cultivate an abundant space for creativity to flourish. At a time when creativity is the most sought-after skill in the workforce, yet 75% of Americans feel they are not realizing their creative potential, author Marni Freedman shares her infectious enthusiasm and global insights gleaned from experiences as diverse as Buddhist farmers in Maui to fire dancers at Burning Man.

By exploring the three natural states of being: Allow, Trust, and Play, readers will learn to release toxic attitudes, tap into endless ideas, and redefine sharing as play, ultimately becoming creatively resilient.
