The Path of Least Resistance

About this book

Learn how to hone your creativity and build the life you crave with this revolutionary program for creating anything--from a gourmet dinner to a new job and beyond. We may not know it, but most of us long to create something in our lives. It may not be a painting, a novel, or a musical composition, the products we usually associate with "creativity." It may be a beautiful, functional kitchen, a computer program, or good health. Yet achieving these ends requires the same skills that the painter, novelist, or musician would use in completing their masterpiece. The Path of Least Resistance is Robert Fritz's revolutionary program for creating anything, based not on pop psychology, but on the tradition of the arts and sciences. You will learn: - The steps of creating--from conceiving the result to taking action to building momentum- The importance of creating what you truly love- The creative cycle--germination, assimilation, and completion--and how to make the most of each stage as you travel through it- Why manipulating willpower, affirmations, positive thinking, and other human potential programs don't work- The difference between making fundamental, primary, and secondary choices in your life, and how making each kind of choice will affect your ability to create what you want- The importance of having a firm grasp on both current reality and future vision--and how to focus the creative process to move from where you are to where you want to be Fritz's most astounding finding is that once an individual makes a conscious choice to be the predominant creative force in their own life, that life is changed forever: possibilities open up, projects are born from other projects, and the practice of being true to yourself, your project, your vision of life, becomes more and more effortless. Most important, he dispels the idea that you have to be born "creative"; creativity is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered. The Path of Least Resistance is an oasis for anyone tired of the inadequacies of self-help yet sincerely longing to create a life of satisfaction and purpose.
