After the initial moment of inspiration, many people find that the spark goes away. It sometimes seems that, while inspiration is a powerful stimulus, it's not a lasting one, and there's nothing you can do to sustain it. But what if you could? Dare to Inspire shows readers how to approach inspiration as a designed, deliberate practice-like other practices for thriving in life, you get to choose it, own it and maintain it. By effectively managing your energy, practising positive rituals and creating a support system and accountability, you can learn how to intentionally re-spark the engines of inspiration. Featuring examples including Andy Puddicombe's invention of the popular app Headspace (based on a spiritual revelation to offer a service making meditation accessible to everyone, whether they are on a Himalayan mountaintop or living in a noisy New York City walkup) to Chance the Rapper's commitment to a music career and many more, Dare to Inspire will be a key book for readers interested in creativity, success, achievement and happiness.

The first critical study of Anna Kavan's experimental fiction Makes extensive use of unpublished archival sources Reads Kavan comparatively against other twentieth-century experimental writers including Jean Rhys, Elizabeth Bowen and Muriel Spark Suggests new taxonomies for mid-century experimental fiction This first book-length study of Anna Kavan's writing contradicts earlier critical approaches that have figured her writing as sui generis by reading her comparatively alongside her contemporaries, especially Jean Rhys, Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark and Doris Lessing. Taking Kavan's fiction as pivotal to understanding trends of experimentalism that emerged across the middle of the twentieth century, it offers close readings of her distinctive prose including her early Helen Ferguson texts, her writing of asylum incarceration, her wartime stories, and her postwar novels. Observing how her fiction challenges perceived divisions between experimental and realist writing, literary and popular genre and (late) modernist and postwar literatures, it focuses on the ways that Kavan's writing undermines fixed or knowable identity and explores the relationship between reality and fiction. This study not only brings necessary attention to a neglected writer, but also suggests new taxonomies for reading experimental fiction in the mid-twentieth century.
