121. Books That Matter: Elizabeth Gilbert's ‘Big Magic' — Recalibrating Your Relationship with Fear & Living a Bolder, More Creative Life
Friday, 17 July, 2026
Books That Matter for Photographers: Elizabeth Gilbert's ‘Big Magic' — Recalibrating Your Relationship with Fear While Living a Bold, Creative Life.Fresh off a month in Botswana, Richard tackles Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert for the 'Books That Matter' series, and makes the case that fear isn't the enemy of creativity: it's a necessary ingredient. Seneca, mall cops, perfectionism, and why fear is just plain boring, all in service of one idea: stop waiting to feel ready and make the next frame anyway.Big Magic (2015) is Elizabeth Gilbert's book on creativity and fear, arguing the two aren't opposites but constant companions, so the goal isn't to eliminate fear but to keep it out of the driver's seat. Organized loosely around courage, permission, persistence, trust, and letting go of perfectionism.Notable Links:Big MagicElizabeth Gilbert WebsiteBooks That Matter: Episode 106 — Stephen Pressfield and 'The War of Art'Books That Matter: Episode 114 — John Szarcowski and 'The Photographer's Eye'*******MUENCH WORKSHOPS GIVEAWAY** Win a free workshop with me to Bosque del Apache, New Mexico in January, 2027.
