My introduction to Eric's work began when I bought Fearless Creating which is a creativity workbook and source of inspiration that I dip in and out of every once in a while. The quotes in the side panels are worth the price of the book on their own. Growing up I was taught that good girls didn't write in books, particularly ones they love deeply. Fearless Creating was one of the first books I allowed myself to truly engage with by underlining, asterixing and filling in some of the exercises.

Next I bought Eric's 'Creativity Book' which is of a format and size that makes it perfect for keeping in my handbag to dive into whenever I find myself at a loose end while I'm out and about.
I can't recommend Eric's free weekly newsletter highly enough - it's impossible to ignore Eric's words of wisdom when you're getting a shot in the arm from him every Sunday ... priceless.
Eric has two podcast shows, The Joy of Living Creatively and Your Purpose-Centered Life.
Other books on my 'Eric Maisel wishlist':
A Writer’s Space, on sale in the US in April, in which Eric looks at many existential issues in the lives of writers.
Creativity for Life - discusses the challenges of having an artistic personality and how we can make creativity a central part of our life and our work.
Oh and pretty much any other book by this ridiculously talented and wise creativity guru
