Ristad, Eloise. A Soprano on Her Head: Right-side-up Reflections on Life and Other Performances. Moab, UT: Real People, 1982. Print.
This book is a first person, nonfiction reflection on performance anxiety, or "stage fright" and its effects on the creatively talented. The author first examines individuals who have struggled with anxiety, then provides suggested solutions to the problem accompanied with data supporting the given remedies. While the fundamental information provided within the book provides practical remedies to performance anxiety, perhaps the greatest benefit is the books capacity to generalize a condition that most feel affects only themselves, eliminating any alienation that one might feel. This book is pertinent to my subject in its direct approach to resolving performance anxiety, a topic in which I am very much interested.
