Feeling stuck or burned out? Creative director of Fast Company and accomplished marathon runner Mike Schnaidt shares powerful strategies to help you push through creative blocks and stay inventive in any situation--throughout your career and life.

Packed with 56 actionable "rules" and inspiring stories from designers, astronauts, illustrators, ultramarathoners, chefs, photographers, and even an Olympic Gold medalist, this book offers a rare blend of practical advice and motivational insights to fuel your creative journey.

You'll learn how to sharpen your focus, strengthen your imagination, pitch ideas with confidence, handle feedback, and manage challenges like hiring, budgeting, and scaling your impact.
