New Age Magazine review of A Life in the Arts
"Maisel has fused his empirical knowledge of the artistic life with true empathy and support for artists of all disciplines. The result is a well-researched, eminently readable guide: Exercises and strategies help artists approach such challenges as overcoming blocks, understanding the business of art, coping with criticism and rejection, and mastering the positive and negative effects of isolation. Even the margins contain quotations from renowned members of the creative community--a nice embellishment of Maisel's fine, insightful work."

Great book!, 20 Mar 2000
By Ed Hooks, Acting for Animators - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Life in the Arts: Practical Guidance and Inspiration for Creative and Performing Artists (Inner Workbooks) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think I have become Maisel's best publicity agent since I have told every musician that I work with that they MUST get this book. Just having someone lay out for me the behaviors and personality traits that make up an artistic personality has taken a great load off my psyche. I've just finished the recording of my new CD and A LIFE IN THE ARTS was my bible during the incredible internal battles that I went through in pushin myself to the limit on this project. Great!

How to live with rejection, frustration and even success, 20 Dec 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Life in the Arts: Practical Guidance and Inspiration for Creative and Performing Artists (Inner Workbooks) (Mass Market Paperback)
Eric Maisel encapsulates the tribulations of living within the artist's world, and provides common sense, practical, easy to follow exercises for the reader. These exercises give us an intimate understanding of our own frailties, and thus help us to face these, to accept them, and to overcome them. The intelligent person's guide to developing and maintaining one's creative self.

A Very Valuable Tool, 21 Mar 2000
By a reader from CA - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Life in the Arts: Practical Guidance and Inspiration for Creative and Performing Artists (Inner Workbooks) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have just finished reading A LIFE IN THE ARTS for the second time. Maisel's book has become an indispensable companion and has helped me to look at reality and to accept certain compromises, at the same time keeping my mission in full focus and never undermining my integrity. It is a great rarity when I am able to identify or relate to a book as I have to this one. A LIFE IN THE ARTS is a wonderful work of art.
