Danny Gregory’s new book on creativity is Shut your Monkey: How to Control Your Inner Critic and Get More Done. Shut Your Monkey is about that pesky voice in your head that prevents you from expressing yourself creatively. It whispers in your ear and derails your career plans, sabotages your work before it’s completed, makes you overreact and misbehave. In the book, Gregory provides insight into the inner workings of one’s inner critic and teaches readers how to put it in its place. Visit his website dannygregory.com for more.
