1) Take a break - do something different and come back
2) Interview someone on the subject--it will give you a fresh perspective. For "Live Your Joy" we held a weekly teleclass for six weeks to test our ideas and find out what people wanted to know about joy. For Micro-Resilience, we had 30 people do the program and then followed them.
3) Basically, listening to others is a good way to break writer's block(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Writing "How Great Women Lead" with my daughter gave us the right to seek out our heroes and things we were interested in. We met with Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, President of Liberia, an orchestra conductor, and a fighter pilot. Darcy was interested in "Seeds of Peace" so we visited the camp for a few days. We went to Facebook headquarters and wrote on THE wall there.
Writing a book gives you a reason to go places, meet people, and ask the questions you have always wanted to ask. Many people think writing a book is about showing how smart you are...I think it is a chance to learn the things you always wanted to learn.(less)
