Void | In Art brings together the author's many years of meditation practice with his knowledge of art history and the sacred wisdom texts of Eastern philosophy to show how the experience of the Great Void of ultimate reality, a central aspect of the meditation experience, is embodied in different ways in mostly esoteric Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist art as well as in the work of several modern and contemporary Eastern and Western artists. Lesser metaphysical and existential voids are also discussed in their appropriate contexts. The Eastern section of the book is largely organized by different cultures and genres while in the Western section the examination of the works of art is constructed in a more chronological fashion to show the rationale behind the basic abhorrence of the Void in art until the early 19th century. Throughout the book the importance of the Void in art and life is emphasized.

When it comes to creating ideas, we hold ourselves back. That’s because inside each of us is an internal editor whose job is to forever polish our thoughts so we sound smart and in control and so we fit into society. But what happens when we encounter problems where such conventional thinking fails us? How do we get unstuck? For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting, a technique he’s used for years to solve all types of business problems and generate ideas for books, articles, and blog posts. Freewriting is deceptively simple: start writing as fast as you can, for as long as you can, about a subject you care deeply about, while ignoring the standard rules of grammar and spelling. Your internal editor won’t be able to keep up with your output—you’ll generate breakthrough ideas and solutions that you couldn’t have created any other way. Levy shares his six secrets to freewriting as well as fifteen problem-solving and creativity-stimulating principles you can use if you need more firepower—seven of which are new to this edition. Also new to this edition: an extensive section on how to refine your raw freewriting into something you can share with the world.

Mark Levy zeigt in seinem Buch, wie man durch bestimmte Schreibtechniken Gedanken und Ideen gezielt nutzen und festhalten kann. Er führt in die Kunst des 'Private Writing' ein, um den freien Fluss der Gedanken zu fördern und so möglichst viel Wertvolles aus dem eigenen Kopf aufzuschreiben.

Jeder Mensch kann geniale Einfälle haben, welt bewegende Ideen und das Potenzial, etwas wirklich Neues zu erfinden. Behauptet jedenfalls Mark Levy. Sind wir also alle plötzlich kleine Einsteins mit einem IQ, der sich kaum mehr messen lässt? Macht uns der Autor mit seiner Methode zu intellektuellen Überfliegern? Natürlich nicht. Was Mark Levy zeigen will, ist etwas ganz anderes. In seinem Buch geht es um Gedanken und Ideen – und darum, wie man sie mit Hilfe ganz bestimmter Schreibtechniken gezielt nutzen und festhalten kann. Und das kann eigentlich jede und jeder, ganz unabhängig von Ausbildung und IQ. Levy führt den Leser in die Kunst des »Private Writing« ein, eine Methode, die dazu dient, den freien, unzensierten Fluss der Gedanken in Bewegung zu bringen und aufzuzeichnen. Nur so bleibt der Denkprozess in Schwung, kommen möglichst viele Gedanken und Ideen aufs Papier. Und genau das ist das Ziel: möglichst viel von dem festzuhalten, was im eigenen Kopf an Wertvollem und weniger Wertvollem vorhanden ist.
