How to Escape Lifetime Security and Pursue Your Impossible Dream: A Guide to Transforming Your Career
by Kenneth Atchity
For the “Type C”—creative—personalities who want their work to fit their deepest creative urges, this is the frontline guide to making the transition from a secure and soulless job to a life built around a creative dream. Written by a tenured professor who pursued his impossible dream to become a successful literary entrepreneur and film producer, this book will show readers how to identify their warring inner voices; follow the mind’s eye to construct a life that conforms to personal vision; steal time to make creative dreams come true; use as assets the resources around them such as people, money, and mind and body; and turn creative goals and objectives into an effective life plan. This volume also offers steps to redefine success, face negative peer pressure, and take risks. Also included are interviews with creative professionals who share the challenges and rewards they experienced on the road to a more exciting and fulfilling work life. For those ready to fall in love with their future, this is a must-have!

Reviews
“Having successfully gone through the type of career transition described in this book, I can appreciate not only its masterful detailing of the process but also its thoughtful, thought-provoking challenge to all those thinking of undergoing their own transitions.”
—Ira Wohl, Academy Award–winning director turned psychotherapist
“Atchity tells you how to be a ‘Type C,’ how to choose only the kind of stress that brings pleasure, how to squeeze every last ounce of creativity out of your being, how to live life to the fullest, how to create a niche rather than find one. Atchity’s book is a guide to the pursuit of dreams.”
—Howard Owen, author of Littlejohn and Fat Lightning
“A valuable guide in sorting out your choice of a right livelihood. Everyone should read it.”
—James Butler, vice president of the Council for Aid to Education
