Tracy Cooper: Thrill, Gebunden

Klappentext

Thrill: Everyday Creators is the applied companion to Thrill: Embracing the Creative Paradox of Sensitivity and Sensation Seeking (second edition), the book that explored how creativity manifests in Sensitive Sensation Seekers. Everyday Creators shows what that tension actually looks like when it's lived out, day after day, by real people. This is a collection of honest, unpolished stories from people navigating that same internal pull: a publisher who built an entire company around a 4am ritual because no existing structure ever fit his wiring. A woman who has moved more than thirty times, engineering every detail of her home and schedule around a nervous system that runs on overdrive. A man who walked away from a marriage and a country to stop suppressing who he was. A former police officer rebuilding his life after C-PTSD. A corporate executive who failed twice in business before finding his real calling. A skateboarder who has spent forty years using one sport to regulate a mind that won't sit still. None of these are polished success stories. They are real accounts of fear, perfectionism, burnout, reinvention, and the everyday, often invisible creativity it takes to build a life around being both deeply sensitive and hungry for intensity. These stories are proof that this kind of creativity, born from traits that can feel contradictory, can be built into a life that works. Read them together, or read this one first. Either way, you'll likely recognize yourself somewhere in these pages.
