The segment called: "How Do You Let Go?" It introduced a new concept that resonated as a deep truth for me and gave me an accurate insight into my own way of dealing with problems and the pitfalls I need to be wary of in my progress.

Even before I finished this book I was writing again and rebuilding the focuses, goal setting and scheduling of not only my writing but my life. I came out of my hibernation and started living again.

like I really can do this -
that I still truly want to write -

The author's Nancy Pickard (mystery author) and Lynn Lott (psychologist and self-help author) both give insight from their own lives as well as the lives of other writers and goal achievers. They talk about what they've experienced and learnt in their years of walking that same path all writers start upon.
