Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
With the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan lead you through a comprehensive 12-week program to recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions and other inhibiting forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity.

This book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the creative energies of the universe, and has, in the four years since its publication, spawned a remarkable number of support groups for artists dedicated to practising the exercises it contains. --Amazon.com




Rating: - disapointed
I got this book for my birthday and was really excited as ive been struggling with my creativity for a few years.

Unfortunately, the book is based largely on religion, and God features on every other page. I realised spirituality would be a part of the process, and the introduction states you don't need to believe in god to use the book which encouraged me. However, as you move through the book, religion becomes more prominent and I found my mind being blocked right back up with all ... Read More

Rating: - This book has changed my life
That's a strong thing to say I know but its true, I am currently on week 8 and I have never been so inspired to make changes in my life and I am LOVING IT!

A friend gave me this book because I was complaining that I didn't have a creative bone in my body and I was generally bored with doing the same things over and over. She thrust the book at me and said 'read this!' I bought a journal the same day and I have written in it every day ever since. It has made me remember many precious ... Read More

Rating: - Releasing Creativity!
Much creativity is lost between the time we are young children and when we become adults. The school system, societal influences, and even maturity itself eventually whittles away the artist in most people.

Julia Cameron systematically addresses subjects to release the enormous creativity we all have. I found the book useful for stimulating an artist's though processes. Improving one's creativity is a key element in developing the right brain for Critical Thinking.

Rating: - Hugely Dissapointing.
I was hugely dissapointed upon reading this book.Having seen numerous positive and glowing reviews, as well as it being widely stocked, I did not hesitate to buy this book when I attempted to start painting again after a period of acute illness.

Unfortunatley, my hopes were not met. Wishy-washy and pseudo-psychological opinions really started to grate with me, as well as the authors dramatic use of theatrical language. There is also an obssesive reliance on God which could possibly become a crutch ... Read More

Rating: - There are many reasons for reading this book.....
I am not an artist, and when I read this book I was not hoping to recover my creative self. I was, however, suffering from severe depression and this book was recommended to me. There are many books on depression - I think I must have most of them! - but this is the only one that really helped me on the road to recovery.

It's an easy read, which sets out a simple program that anyone can follow.

Perhaps what it is really about is helping people who feel trapped in a rut make their great ... Read More
