In "A Songwriter's Grimoire: practical notes for a mystical practice" art philosopher and professional songwriter Andy Eppler employs his signature comedic style to dispel magical thinking around the creative process without sacrificing any of the power or meaning that fuels great art. Eppler uses the lens of songwriting to encourage artists and deal with the kind of issues that any creative person has to face such as:

Along with these encouraging and pracgtical chapters readers will find a large collection of Eppler's own lyrics from his numerous original albums.
Your best work awaits you and the world desperately needs you to make it. With the right framing and some technical skill set there is no stopping you.
