Creativity guru Julia Cameron has long inspired others. Now the prolific author, poet, songwriter, filmmaker and playwright is sharing her own secret weapon in this workbook, and inviting anyone wanting to unblock their creativity to follow her precise instructions. With Living the Artist's Way, she's decided to explain how guidance works and, in doing so, to share the self-doubt she frequently experiences -- Genevieve Fox * Guardian *
This is for people who are even more curious about where creativity 'comes from' and who want to access a deep well of support in every day life ... A comforting read - Living The Artist's Way is an intimate, open and vulnerable look at Julia's life, now aged 75, living in New Mexico and how her tools play out in the big and small moments of life. If The Artist's Way is about the work of creativity, this new book is about life itself - the bits in between the creative 'work'. The creative life. -- Emma Gannon
