This book is a spiritual gift. It contains lots of examples, even exercizes of sorts to get you in touch with creative impulses of everyday life.

As arts organizations struggle to jump into the last lifeboat of the NEA/Titanic and business executives attend conferences to make them creative, Eric Booth has come up with a do-it-yourself-at-home plan to foster personal creativity and as a side effect, to understand that the artistic process impacts all areas of life. Every parent, educator, Senator from North Carolina, congressman,American, donor, and artist should read this book. Booth is a dashing writer with such enthusiasm for the fun of life, for making things, of thinking about stuff... He has an unusual talent for writing for Everyperson and great warmth of storytelling. So many psycho-dream-catcher-recovery books on the shelf about creativity, why this? Booth bypasses all that grind and tells you how to make your daily chores a work of art. I guess he's the Martha Stewart of inner elegance. This is one that I will REREAD!

"The Everyday Art is alchemy. Let it in, and it will change your life, make it richer, sweeter, deeper and a whole lot more fun. It's already having that effect on me, delightfully and unexpectedly." Carl Frankel, US Editor, Tomorrow Magazine. Author, In Earth's Company: Business, Environment and the Challenge of Sustainability
