THE BOOK OF DOING AND BEING

Barnet Bain

Rediscovering Creativity in Life, Love, and Work

With clarity, humor, and insight, award-winning filmmaker Barnet Bain guides readers to unlock the raw power of the creative self. Sharing creativity principles and practices at the leading edge, The Book of Doing and Being offers a life-altering map for stepping beyond what we already know and into a dimension of imagination from which innovation is born.
Known for his inspiring movies and documentaries, as well as his popular creativity workshops, Barnet Bain makes available his teachings for the first time in book form. Discover how will and action come together with imagination and feeling to form the very foundation of creativity by working with this treasury of more than forty transformative exercises. Each one is designed to spark new creative connections by challenging our usual ways of thinking, feeling, and perceiving.

These lessons, tools, and techniques serve to unlock great reservoirs of creativity in every individual, whether it’s jumpstarting or completing a project, launching a new business, creating a work of art, experiencing more fulfilling relationships, or making other dreams come true. Bain’s motivational guidance includes: rewiring your brain to unleash ultra-creativity; finding freedom from self-criticism, perfectionism, and other obstructions to productivity and creative expression; harnessing the two forces of creativity: inspiration and action; discovering your emotions as the doorway to creative aliveness and ingenuity; and heeding the call of your Real Work, regardless of age, education, or experience.

Step by step, you will make the discovery of a lifetime: how to stop being ruled by your past and start consciously creating your present and future. You will be surprised and energized—by your next creative impulse, the next idea that excites you, the next experience that moves you—and you will live a creative life.

If you haven't yet experienced the delight of attending one of Barnet Bain's workshops, this book will introduce you to a singular creative force: YOU. Experience your self as a spontaneous wellspring of fresh ideas, and put them into immediate action. Barnet will ignite your creative fire.

Barnet Bain is devoted to manifesting creativity in a way that not only gives his life purpose but brings meaning and hope to the lives of others. With this book, he reveals to us how we can do the very same thing no matter our age, education, culture, or experience. Put simply, if you want your life to count in ways you’ve previously only dreamed of you owe it to yourself to read this book!

No need to wait any longer for inspiration to strike or for the Muse to arrive in order to be creative. The Book of Doing and Being eloquently presents a treasury of creativity methods that you can use at any time.

This is quite simply the best book on creativity I’ve ever read. It is an eloquent theory of where the creative spark ‘lives’ and how best to access it, a complete toolkit for igniting your own creative potential, and a master class in the power of living life without a discernible compass. Follow its siren call, abandon the path of certainty, and learn to ‘live on magic.’ Consider this a course in creative miracles – your own.

With brilliant clarity, delightful humor and deep insight,Barnet Bain reveals in The Book of Doing and Being how everyone can unlock their inner potential for creativity and make their dreams come true. I highly recommend it.

A glorious guide into our own possibility, into and past our blocks, to our true liberated being. Creativity is not merely an endowment for the fortunate few, it is a universal opportunity that grows in our relationship to self. Barnet Bain, a highly creative and innovative artist, helps us to unleash our gifts, talents, and vision. Bain starts with the premise that we each have a passion, a unique calling, and, if found, it helps us to live far more fully. Bain then gives us reason to believe in ourselves, and with some helpful steps, to realize our true nature, our calling!
