"You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don’t have to
be. Just create to create. Create to remind yourself you’re
still alive. Make stuff to inspire others to make something
too. Create to learn a bit more about yourself.”

3. Robin Williams: Intensity Is Not Pathology
The tone of a number of responses to the death of Robin Williams
seem based in the insidious “Crazy Artist” mythology...
Psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman commented that Williams'
“comedic genius was a result of many factors...In contrast, his
suicide was strongly influenced by his mental illness.This
romanticism of mental illness needs to stop.”

4. TIPS ON SPEAKING PUBLICLY FOR INTROVERTS
Beth Buelow [theintrovertentrepreneur.com] says:
"Of all the aspects of public speaking [how to be painlessly sociable] is almost the more
challenging. It’s not necessarily getting up and doing what you do, it’s the before and after."
This is a post with a video of Andy Mort interviewing Buelow - from the much longer
interview for members of the Sheep Dressed Like Wolves Member’s Haven - an “Online
community for introverted and highly sensitive creatives.”

5. A Little Bit Every Day Course
"If you are an introverted or Highly Sensitive Person it is quite
probable that you carry with you a deep longing to feel like
what you do in life matters.
!
"By nature, developing a sense of purpose in life takes time,
discipline, and commitment, so this longing and the reality of
our noisy world are often starkly opposed to one another."
Andy Mort - in free intro to his course.

6. DIY Self-Esteem
program by confidence coach Joanna Moore
!
"Liking yourself gives your life a new dimension and it’s just such a joy to
wake up and not beat yourself up... This kind of freedom is beyond
explanation and it’s one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself."
- From a testimonial.
