The INFJ Writer: Cracking the Creative Genius of the World's Rarest Type
After years of coaching writers who struggled with procrastination issues, high sensitivity to criticism, and crippling self doubt, Lauren Sapala realized that almost every one of her clients was an INFJ or INFP. Using the insights gleaned from these clients, as well as her own personal story, Sapala shows us how the experience of the intuitive writer can be radically different from the norm. INFJ writers don’t think like anyone else, and their highly creative brains take a toll on them that they rarely share with the outside world. The INFJ Writer discusses such topics as: How an INFJ writer’s physical health is tied to their creative output Why INFJ writers are more likely to fall prey to addictions When an INFJ writer should use their natural psychic ability to do their best creative work Whether looking to start writing again or to finish the novel/memoir they started so long ago, any writer with the self-awareness to identify themselves as highly sensitive and intuitive will benefit from this book that helps them to find their own magic, and to finally use it to build the creative life that actually works for them.
Firefly Magic
Lauren Sapala coached Highly Sensitive Writers for years before she discovered one of the biggest obstacles holding them back in their writing careers: a rock-solid resistance to marketing. Regardless of the wealth of book marketing tools and resources available to writers and artists today, most highly creative people still feel suspicious, confused, or just plain turned off by marketing and sales. The hidden reason behind this resistance is a deeply rooted fear that marketing for writers always results in a loss of integrity for the writer. Almost all highly creative people are also Highly Sensitive People, many of which are INFJ or INFP personality types. These Highly Sensitive Writers feel any possible threat to their integrity intensely. The fear they feel around marketing takes root in limiting beliefs that shut them down before they even begin. Lauren Sapala shares stories and strategies to help Highly Sensitive Writers shift their mindset and open up to new ways to promote their work. She helps all writers realize that—due to their Highly Sensitive nature—they might just make the best salespeople of all.
Summary of Lauren Sapala's The INFJ Revolution
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was always poor, and I was always in debt. I was always giving power away to others, and never taking it back. I was always uncomfortable with power, and would always hand it off to someone else. #2 I began to see that power could be used as an oppressive force if I so chose. I realized that I had been putting myself in charge of a gigantic battery that held enough juice to run an electric switchboard for a city, but I doubted my own abilities so much that I refused to run the switchboard myself. #3 INFJs and INFPs are people who consider situations from every angle and never rush to conclusions. We have a keen sense of justice and fair play, and consideration for those who are actually oppressed and powerless comes naturally to us.

The Ecstatic Soul
Among the personality types, the INFJ stands out as a genuine mystery. The most intuitive of the intuitives, he looks like a thinker among feelers. Introverts mistake him for an extrovert. Realists mistake him for an idealist. Dreamers think he is too rational, yet the truly rational types see in him an obscure, emotional mystic. He is a prophet for some, an abstract loner for others. After all these years, the INFJ is still misunderstood. Worse, he does not even understand himself. When he tries to grasp his material body, he loses all sense of the material. When he directs his attention to concepts, he misses the intimacy of sense perception. The metaphysical predicament of the INFJ is tha...
