made before releasing that movie were a bitter lesson for my friend, who valued creative control of his work as paramount. When he went on to make a movie based on another script of his own, a big Holly wood studio offered him a standard deal whereby the studio financed the project and held the power to change the film before its release. He refused the deal-his artistic integrity was more important.
Instead my friend "bought" creative control by going off on his own and putting every penny of his profits from the first film into this second project. When he was almost done, his money ran out. He went looking for loans, but bank after bank turned him down. Only a last-minute loan from the tenth bank he implored saved the project.
The film was Star Wars.
George Lucas's insistence on keeping creative control despite the financial struggle that it entailed for him signifies enormous integrity-and, as the world knows, it also turned out to be a lu crative business decision. But this decision wasn't motivated by the pursuit of money; back then ancillary rights meant selling movie posters and T-shirts, a trivial source of revenue. At the time, ev eryone who knew the film industry warned George against going out on his own.
Such a decision requires immense confidence in one's own guiding values. What allows people to have such a strong inner compass, a North Star that steers them through life according to the dictates of their deepest values and purposes?
Self-awareness, particularly accuracy in decoding the internal cues of our body's murmurs, holds the key. Our subtle physiologi cal reactions reflect the sum total of our experience relevant to the decision at hand.
The decision rules derived from our life experiences reside in ubcortical neural networks that gather, store, and apply algorithms from every event in our lives-creating our inner rudder.
