A timely piece, written with a light touch and gentle humour that nonetheless delivers meaningful and accessible methods to inspire everyone in their creative journeys.
We are creative organisms, pattern-seeking learning machines; the only thing that stops us is how we use our minds.
The ideas in this book will spark your creativity and demonstrate the techniques used.
It is beholden upon us to think bigger, better, and more creatively. We cannot fix the mess in the world by using the same thinking that created it.
Vic Hyland, a nationally recognised music educator, international examiner for LCM Exams, and influential figure in the music industry, has released his latest ground-breaking book, Music, Magic, and NLP. This creative compendium delves into the realms of music, magic, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, offering readers a unique and transformative journey through the power of creativity and the human mind.
In Music, Magic, and NLP, Vic Hyland explores the depths of human creativity, emphasising the importance of expanding our minds and thinking beyond conventional boundaries. Drawing upon his 50 years of professional experience, Hyland presents readers with a thought-provoking narrative that challenges the norms and sparks imagination. The book takes readers on a wild ride through the history of Western music, the intricacies of 20th-century pop, and the profound insights of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Hyland's work also intertwines the techniques of influential figures like William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin, demonstrating how creativity can emerge from chaos and randomness.
Mark Fitzpatrick of The Hedge School podcast has applauded the book, describing Vic Hyland as a consummate artist and praising Music, Magic, and NLP as an incredible compendium of ideas, theories, techniques, and personal memoir.
Through his writing, Vic Hyland challenges readers to think bigger, better, and more creatively, emphasising the need to break free from conventional thinking in order to make sense of the chaotic world around us. He stresses that creativity is not just a trait but a skill that can be nurtured and developed with the right mindset.
