It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.&rdquo;&ldquo;The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.&rdquo;&ldquo;I must fight with all my strength so that the little positive things that my health allows me to do might be pointed toward helping the revolution. The only real reason for living.&rdquo;&ldquo;I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.&rdquo;

But many believe the common misconception that creativity is something you are born with and others can only envy.In Change Your Mind, Rod Judkins reveals that &lsquo;creative&rsquo; people are no more creative than the rest of us. Rather, their gift is that they believe they are creative, and because of this, they are. Many of these people lack traditional artistic abilities (Francis Bacon couldn&rsquo;t draw, so he didn&rsquo;t; Andy Warhol couldn&rsquo;t paint, so he didn&rsquo;t) but that doesn&rsquo;t stop them. This self-belief accounts for 90 per cent of their success. Creativity is a skill that everyone can learn and benefit from, whether you&rsquo;re trying to start your own business, write music, come up with new ideas at work or just change your way of looking at the world.Follow theses 57 insider tips, which include nuggets of wisdom such as the importance of focus, why you should never wait for inspiration and how you should always turn a failure into success. With real-life insights into the minds of writers, artists and musicians, from Picasso to Paul McCartney, Change Your Mind will unlock the creative genius you always knew you were.

DICK FRANCIS was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys and author of forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), the biography of Lester Piggott and his own autobiography (The Sport of Queens). He was rightly acclaimed as one of the greatest thriller writers in the world. 
 
 Since his death, his son FELIX FRANCIS has taken over the literary reigns from his father and Dick's legacy lives on through the Dick Francis novels. The Francis flair is clear for all to see in these national treasure thrillers, and readers will appreciate the sporadic reappearance of beloved series characters Sid Halley and Jeff Hinkley.
