THE HABIT OF NOTICING Using Creativity to Make a Life (and a Living)

A singer-songwriter and creativity advocate offers a collage of stories, pithy advice, and original music aimed at helping people become more aware of their talents and more courageous about expressing them. He's a smooth and resonant narrator whose dramatic pacing is intense and provocative; his message and delivery are so authentic that their sheer power will be hard for most listeners to resist. The music-- instrumental pieces played in the background during most of his compact essays and a nice collection of his songs--is uncommonly well integrated into the content and spirit of the production. It's all part of the same fabric, the same persevering spirit behind Smith's personal journey and his sincere efforts to help budding artists pay more attention to the inspiration in and around themselves.
