Silencing the stifling voice of every artist's inner critic once and for all, Danielle Krysa shares ten truths that creatives must face in order to defeat self-doubt. Each encouraging chapter deconstructs a pivotal moment on the path to success -- fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others -- and explains how to navigate roadblock. Packed with helpful anecdotes, thoughts from successful creatives, and practical exercises gleaned from Krysa's years of working with professional and aspiring artists, this book arms readers with the most essential tool for their toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work.

Krysa understands me

4 stars

I struggle with my inner critic in all areas of my life, not just when it comes to creativity.

One of the most relatable things Krysa notes in her book are the buckets of lies we tell ourselves that can be grouped by: fears, environment, time, and blame. Highly relatable.

Practical and philosophical, must read for anyone who feels like their inner voice prevents them from achieving the things they want.
