   The Artist's Way
           by Julia Cameron
  Book Review Highlights:
  • There are ways to bring out creativity in your life.
  • Julia Cameron offers both a path and a method.
  • In a deeper sense, the book focuses on how to live.
 

A spiritual path to higher creativity

   The Artist's Way masquerades as a guide for artists and aspiring artists, but it is really about how to live life.

   If you always wanted to play the didgeridoo, take acting lessons, or write a novel, this book can help. Perhaps it will help even more if your life feels flat, your relationships stale, and your work joyless.

A Way to Reinvigorate Your Life

   At our center is an energy and a force which needs to be expressed. If we fail to express ourselves, we will be frustrated and unhappy. Tamara says too many people act as if they are living life down the rabbit hole, while Wayne says, for many people, the world seems to wobble on its axis, like a child's top before it falls over.

   Julia Cameron offers a way out, and a chance to recover that sense of possibility we all had as children. She offers suggestions for escaping crazymakers, finding our inner compass, and opening ourselves to possibility.

   In The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron encourages us to leap—and the net will appear!



From The Artist's Way:

--"There is a path for each of us. When we are on our right path, we have a surefootedness. We know the next right action—although not necessarily what is just around the bend. By trusting, we learn to trust."

--"The point is that you will hear something if you listen for it. Keep your soul cocked for guidance."

--"There is a recognizable ebb and flow to the process of recovering our creative selves. As we gain strength, so will our attacks of self-doubt. This is normal, and we can deal with these stronger attacks when we see them as symptoms of recovery."
