Flashes of Elation: Navigating the World as a Sensitive, Creative Soul

Properly understood, sensitivity is a gift. But it may not feel that way at first. Having gone through a long series of disappointments, many artists come away crushed, feeling as though they are cursed to endure heartache and sadness for all eternity. Sensitive creatives feel deeply about everything. It's what makes them excellent artists, whether it's writing heartfelt song lyrics or channeling their anger into a breathtaking painting. But coping with the roller-coaster highs and sewer tunnel lows can be deflating, and it has left many an artist lost and confused. Troubled by problematic personal relationships and recurring financial nightmares, many end up feeling as though they don't even know their place in the world, and no one will ever understand them. What's required, says Flashes of Elation: Navigating the World as a Sensitive, Creative Soul author David Andrew Wiebe, is a better understanding of self. When you understand your strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, and idiosyncrasies as a sensitive, creative soul, a brand-new pathway opens, as if a bright light spontaneously turning on in an utterly dark room. Flashes of Elation features 50 essays detailing Wiebe's journey and discoveries in candid detail, from anxiety attacks to finding those rare flashes of elation that make you feel like you're on top of the world. Any artist looking to accomplish more, create an independent income, overcome discouragement, understand themselves better, and improve interpersonal relationships owes it to themselves to pick up a copy of this book to find their path to fulfillment and empowerment.
