How The Book Will Help You

Cover reveal! I asked Allison Zuckerman, a phenomenal artist, to design the cover of my book. She represents so much of what creativity is: she reinvents the old and mixes it with her own, she combines analogue and digital techniques, and she possesses a fearless, entrepreneurial spirit filled with curiosity.

This book is my magnum opus (so far) and if you enjoy my newsletter, you’re going to love it.

It took me 13 years of owning my company and working with the most creative minds in the world to be able to write it.

I poured my heart and soul into this book, and it is specifically designed it to give you a unique look at how the world’s most creative artists and entrepreneurs develop and capitalize on their ideas, while also giving you actionable tactics you can use to improve your own creative skills.

The book offers an unprecedented look into the minds and processes of people like Artemisia Gentileschi, Pablo Picasso, Shonda Rhimes, Steve Jobs and Damien Hirst among many, many others and shows you how to apply what they do to solve your own creative challenges.

These revelations are broken down into four main categories. You’ll learn:

• How to align your creativity in your career, art, or business

• How to hone your creative habits

• How to develop your creative toolbox

• How to find your way forward

Plus, each chapter ends with a special “Alchemy Lab” exercise you can use to unlock and apply what you’ve learned to your own unique situation.

I asked one of my favorite authors to read my book and give me a testimonial. For someone who reads and writes as much as Dan Pink does, this is the ultimate compliment:

“Maria Brito has crafted a first-rate guide to creativity that explodes the many myths about the topic and places this elusive ability within anyone’s grasp. If you’re looking to get unstuck, this is a book for you.”

- Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of WHEN, DRIVE, and A WHOLE NEW MIND

To give you a better sense of the book, here’s a sample chapter you can read RIGHT NOW!

A Final Thought

We all have a responsibility to leave this world in a better place than we found it.

The beauty and uniqueness of your ideas and your experiences has the power to do that.

And we all want to see them flourishing and materializing.

Let your creativity rule the world!

Maria
