Publisher Review

The queen of change * New York Times * I absolutely love this book ... It's a really good starting point to discover what lights you up -- Emma Gannon It's a great tool for any type of creative person. I've given away so many copies -- Tayari Jones It's a big dog book ... [morning pages] gets all the gunk out of my head so that I can just start afresh and focus on whatever is in front of me -- Michaela Cole I talk about this book all the time - I use quotes from it when I interview people, I use techniques from it to improve how I work, I'm pretty obsessed with the book, I've read it twice, it's amazing -- Fearne Cotton Fascinating (and fun) ... Three times in the last decade I've committed to doing The Artist's Way's program, and each time I've learned something important and surprising about myself and my work ... Without The Artist's Way, there would have been no Eat, Pray, Love -- Elizabeth Gilbert I love it ... A practical, spiritual, nurturing book ... I wish I'd found it sooner -- Russell Brand If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints, this book will gently get you started -- Anne Lamott Unlock your inner creativity and ease your anxiety * Daily Telegraph * I found my way to writing to an artist workbook called The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron ... Being introduced to that book, over 20 years ago, really changed my life. I still do [the morning pages] every day; it gets everything out - right at the top of the day. All the anxiety, all the fear, all the mess - it comes out and then it cracks open and leads you to wherever it is that you're supposed to be inside your creativity. I never wrote until I started The Artist's Way, so I would say: Start there -- Billy Porter So inspiring -- Reese Witherspoon I picked this book up for the first time when I was twenty-one years old. It completely changed my life. I did it again ten years ago and the impact was again life-altering. Something in my soul was stirring me to come back to it. So ... here we go ... I'm excited to meet myself on this path again -- Kerry Washington This is a book that addresses a delicate and complex subject. For those who will use it, it is a valuable tool to get in touch with their own creativity -- Martin Scorsese If you'd like to learn more about getting into the creative mode, I highly recommend The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron -- John Cleese Cameron wants you to have a serious think about what you really want from your life * The Times * Julia Cameron invented the way people renovate the creative soul * New York Times * Cameron is simply encouraging her readers to be a bit more open, more patient, and kinder to themselves * New Yorker * This book has been revolutionary in my creative life. It's a must-read for every artist -- Ito Aghayere A classic that never loses its power -- Amanda de Cadenet Unleashing our creative potential is the key to a more meaningful life * Psychologies * The Artist's Way is great ... the moment I did that, that's when [the music] started to flow -- Ed O'Brien The book that made a real impact on me is The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. My friend [actress and comedian] Sophie Willan recommended it to me years ago, and I still have it on my desk. It enables anyone to tap into their creative self regardless of themselves - we often get in our own way when trying to achieve. Want to write that novel? That play? This is the book. -- Lemn Sissay The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is my favourite book -- Precious Lee * Vogue * Cameron's morning pages have shaped the lives of millions of others -- Elle Hunt * The Guardian * I've must have read thousands of books, but the one that changed my life is without a doubt The Artist's Way. I am constantly recommending it to my friends and to anyone who is going through a tough time or feels creatively blocked. I have learned so much about myself and what blocks me in my creativity, and even in my daily life, by reading this book. The Artist's Way helped me recover my sense of identity, and gave me a sense of the possibility of what I could achieve for myself ... for me it was a lifesaver -- Patricia Gibney, author of Silent Voices * The Irish Independent * Everything creative I've done has led from the freedom this book gave me. After I read The Artist's Way, I wrote a comedy show and took it to Edinburgh ... this book truly changed the path my life was taking [and] I still go back to it when I feel stuck -- Cariad Lloyd, host of Griefcast and author of You Are Not Alone
