  <default_description>If you're an entrepreneur holding tight to that big idea, a writer with writer's block, or anyone afraid to &quot;go for it!&quot; this is the book for you. In fresh, funny language amply laced with wisdom, How Much Joy Can You Stand? gives you a wealth of ways to break through those walls to creative expression--and provides the inspirational kick in the pants you've been waiting for.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inside is all the reassurance and encouragement you need to get going and keep going. Stories, anecdotes, and the author's own hard-won wisdom tell the simple truth about creating your dream--it's not as hard as you think.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Discover how to ignite the fire in your belly and get your creative juices flowing; when to run from helpful advice; whether talent really matters; and how to stick with your work even in the face of couch-potato attacks and complete creative meltdown. Hands-on exercises follow each short, pungent chapter to put you back on track toward achieving your goals--and realizing your dreams!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Well written and thought out.  Thank you for the 'to hell with that, blanketyblank them!' stance in the chapter 'The benefits of wishing for too much', Madame Falter-Barns.  You said in a concrete way what i always suspected, and i am grateful for that solidarity. This one is a keeper.      ]]></body>
