An empowering guide for artists, makers, writers and anyone seeking to live more creatively, with confidence, calm and joy.
We all possess creativity, whether it's in the clothes we wear, the way we arrange flowers, or the patterns we choose for our bedroom walls. However, in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world, many of us have lost touch with our innate creative abilities. By chasing trends, productivity hacks and protocols, we forget to trust ourselves, instead relying on algorithms to dictate what we like, what we make, and crucially, how we feel.
Award-winning author Emma Gannon understands just how essential creativity is for survival. Through necessity, she has forged her own creative compass to rekindle her spark when it’s running low. Now, she invites us to set our own inner compass, with mindsets, rituals and actions to help us:
- overcome burnout and mental blocks by blocking external noise
- reignite our creative inspiration and flow through making 'bad' art, and
- reconnect with intuition and self-trust by finding the values that guide us.
Break free from the need for outside approval and create a vibrant, fulfilling life from the inside-out.
Emma Gannon is the Sunday Times bestselling author of nine books, including A Year of Nothing and OLIVE, which was nominated for the Dublin Literary Award. Her second novel, Table for One (2025), was selected as People magazine’s 'Fiction of the Week.'
Emma also writes one of the UK’s most popular Substack newsletters, The Hyphen, which has thousands of paid subscribers. In addition to her writing, she hosts creativity retreats around the world and served as a judge for the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction.
