Blank

Why it's Fine to Falter and Fail, and How to Pick Yourself Up Again

Giles Paley-Phillips , Jim Daly
Drawing on their experiences and those of people from a range of creative fields, Giles Paley-Phillips and Jim Daly explore the many facets of 'blankness', including stage fright and 'life block', where everything seems to go wrong at once. Blending their observations with contributions from public figures, such as Jon Ronson, Reece Shearsmith and Dawn French, they cover subjects from social anxiety to grief and imposter syndrome.

Full publisher description
From Blank the podcast comes Blank: Why It's Fine to Falter and Fail, and How to Pick Yourself up Again.

Blank is an informal, insightful podcast in which well-known people from acting, writing, politics and sports chat about their lives and how they get through tough moments like public failure, writer's block, social anxiety, imposter syndrome, identity crisis, and how they deal with parenting, grief, social media, their careers and switching off.

The book is a compendium of the common experiences and lessons encountered while talking to guests such as Jon Ronson, Dawn French, Michael Rosen, Gary Lineker, Stephen Mangan, Dame Kelly Holmes, Reece Shearsmith, Mark Gatiss, Fiona Murden, Rufus Sewell and many more.

Blank moments allow us to reset and see things differently. Far from being setbacks, they can be the impetus for clarity and creativity. Identify your blank moments and jump in - you never know what you might find.
