At the end of each chapter of Greenlit you’ll find a list of useful exercises, links and useful resources. Here are some of them:

Whatever You Think, Think The Opposite by Paul Arden – with lots of pictures and big text (and easily read in the bathroom) this short book offers an injection of confidence if you ever doubt your creative ability.

Jump In!: Even If You Don’t Know How to Swim by Mark Burnett – he explains why fear and procrastination are the biggest barriers to success, among stories of pitching and producing Survivor. Note that the first people he thanks in the acknowledgments are the 1500+ “show runners, producers, field producers, editors, assistant editors, loggers, casting associates, accountants, camera, sound, art department, unit and challenge teams” on his successful shows.
