There are so many great books in the world that will come in handy,,,. Today we want to present you with a selection of publications that will surely be of interest to creative people.

Let's be honest: not all creative people are good at managing their time, because inspiration, as you know, does not know the schedule.

As a child, I heard a lot about the fact that an artist is a messy person. This is his nature: he sleeps during the day, works at night, ruins his health, burning for the sake of the Great. He is attracted exclusively by "spiritual values"; it is beneath his dignity to be interested in such philistine nonsense as cleanliness, order and money.

From this book you will learn how to put things in order in your affairs, how to keep up with everything you need to keep up with, and how to organize even such a wayward creature as a muse.

This book will serve you as a real source of inspiration. From it you will learn interesting facts from the life of 50 artists, writers, thinkers, dreamers. What things they loved, what habits and oddities they had - the answers await you on the pages of the book. Who knows, maybe you can guess what was the secret of their success?;)

A wonderful travel notebook for creative people who love Peter. He will help you find a lot of interesting places for creative work: come up with a song while playing the guitar on one of the rooftops of St. Petersburg; write an article, comfortably sitting in one of the cafes; draw a picture inspired by the bridges.

Our country is full of misconceptions about business that has grown out of hobbies. The main thing is the stereotype that you can't earn much from creativity. But work can and should be a joy!

Daria Bikbaeva

Think about it. Work is an integral part of your life, so why should you spend eight hours of your time every day on activities that bring nothing but money, and put your favorite creative activity, which gives pleasure, to the background? The author is sure that this should not be so. And in his book he will explain why.

Most creative people drink coffee regularly. This is not surprising if you remember that many of them like to work at night, and the night before the deadline is simply impossible to imagine without a cup of invigorating drink.

After reading this book, you yourself will determine for yourself whether caffeine is harmful or still useful. Who knows, maybe you will give up the regular coffee ritual or, conversely, will do it more often.

Any creative person always has dozens of different ideas spinning in his head. And this is good. But the fact that most people do not know at all how to translate these ideas into reality is bad.

The ability to generate ideas = the right organization + community forces + leadership skills.

Scott Belsky

In his book, Scott Belsky will tell you how to motivate yourself to always embody your ideas, and not let them die without being born.

Many creative people are dreamers, this is what helps them sometimes to create and do what others say: "Well, that's impossible!" In their book, Barbara Sher and Annie Gottlieb will reveal to you a secret: your age, your income level, your current position, your marital status, etc., are irrelevant. What matters is what you really want, what will make you happy. And know: you can achieve this.

If you strongly attach yourself to a dream and dream it over and over again, it begins to attract different events and people. It sounds ridiculous and implausible, but I've seen it many times.

Yana Frank

Another book that will prove to you that your hobby can be turned into your favorite work. Also from the book you will learn about ways to solve problems that often prevent you from creating, as well as about people who "tear off your muse's wings."

How do you know that your idea will appeal to your colleagues and, most importantly, your clients?
