Creativity, Spirituality, and Making a Buck

Creativity, Spirituality, and Making a Buck

A friendly, funny, practical guide for creatives and entrepreneurs, written by a four-time Emmy award-winning and two-time Grammy-nominated composer-guitarist-producer who has worked with Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Garcia, Lana Del Rey, and Krishna Das, among many others. Also a beloved and highly regarded Buddhist teacher, David teaches readers how to integrate their creative process with their spiritual practice and livelihood.

â€œHow do I make a living doing what I love?â€
â€œAm I a sellout as an artist if I want to be successful?â€
â€œHow do I integrate my spiritual principles with the art of running a business? And actually, um, how do I run a business?â€

Wondering how to reconcile your calling with your need to make a living wage, or what to do once your art starts selling, or how to achieve success in your field, or what it even means to be successful? David Nichtern offers his lived, learned experience as an entrepreneur, musician, and Buddhist teacher to first help you figure out what â€œsuccessâ€ means to you and then show you how to get there. He offers advice on the creative process and principles of business and ethicsâ€”everything from â€œlisten to the muse!â€ to â€œprotect your intellectual property!â€â€”and provides mindfulness exercises to help you integrate inspiration and aspiration, vocation and avocationâ€”to go from surviving to thriving.

Whether youâ€™re a baker trying to grow from the farmerâ€™s market to a brick-and-mortar or a CEO exploring how taking care of your employees can be the same as taking care of your businessâ€”if youâ€™re trying to align your spiritual, creative, and financial pursuits and discover what it means to truly live well, this book is for you.
