All I can say is WOW! This class is just what I needed to help my new business concept come to life. David Nichtern breaks the creative process, the business process, and personal discovery insight down into understandable and actionable ideas with valuable ways to move a concept forward. The meditation practices meld perfectly into learning how to get some forward momentum going. I'm so glad I carved out the time to watch/listen to all of the sessions over a two day period. Thank you, CreativeLive and David – this was an extremely insightful workshop!

Well well well, so I was first introduced to David Nichtern when he appeared on the Duncan Trussel Family Hour podcast. Immediately I was a fan, I listened to both of his podcasts appearances multiple times before I found this course and enrolled. David can laugh with himself in a quiet room and I think that is great. Mindfulness is a powerful tool in life and David makes it accessible to everyone through a engaging style that blends humour and common sense.
