Brainstorm
Brainstorm: Harnessing the Power of Productive Obsessions | Eric Maisel, PhD, Ann Maisel
5 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Its true: a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Yet thats what we do when we spend our weekend and neurons reliving a workplace squabble, spend a family visit chewing over childhood issues, or spend hours beating ourselves up when someone brings one of our own long-held (but never worked on) ideas to fruition. 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.

Subtitle: "Harnessing the Power of Productive Obsessions." The entire premise is flawed: the author suggests you CHOOSE something to obsess over, and then be productive toward it. But how can you obsess over something you had to consciously choose? True Obsessions are usually far beyond our control.
