At the pivot point between creation and collapse, you'll experience a state of poised instability. This is the art and science of the possible- a world of continuous creation. The Adjacent Possible is a reflection of the work of my life in art and psychiatry- guiding others to believe in themselves. The big idea of this small book is that in order to create your deepest art, you must cultivate being surprise-able and nourish discovery rather than merely trusting luck and hoping for the best.

Nancy Hillis, M.D. is an abstract artist, Stanford trained psychiatrist and best-selling author of The Artist's Journey?: Bold Strokes To Spark Creativity. She helps artists transform their art from the inside out, operating from the conviction that artistic creation has as much to do with psychology as with the medium of expression.

She lives in Santa Cruz, California and enjoys conversations on art, science and the generation of novelty in the universe with her partner, theoretical physicist Dr. Bruce Sawhill, as well as listening and watching her daughter, Kimberly, sing Puccini and compose Scandinavian tunes for cello.
