5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring, examining and unblocking your creativity!, July 22, 2008

By	Virginia Knibb "Gigi, on the road" (Full-time traveler in an RV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The exercises in the first part of this "trilogy" is more than worth the price of the book. If you choose to do the exercises, your creativity will be released/unblocked. What a positive response this book is for really anyone who wants to live more creatively. If you want to think of yourself as an artist, or if you never thought of yourself as an artist before, this book is for you. I have already given it as a gift and I'm not even half way through with the reading/journaling/pondering. It would be a tremendous book for your local library. Then, use it on a solo journey or work through it with a group. Gigi

4.0 out of 5 stars Stirring Creativity, August 8, 2008

By	J.W.Swan (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews

"Was there any issue this week that felt significant to you in your self-discovery?" Cameron's questions and exercises are very helpful for someone getting started in an artistic pursuit - or someone who needs to reactivate after a period of not working in this arena for a time. The book is written in short essays, some of which have tasks to do. The exercises help reduce the rigidity of our mental constructs, and so open the spirit path. It is a book one may pick up and read at any moment... find a gem of an idea to build upon, or an understanding of what's at work in all of the arts. This book is a treasure for me. It never fails to remind me of the creativity that is always ready to be stirred in every human being.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Artist's Way - great teaching book, July 8, 2009

By	David J. Moday (Crofton, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have started this self-teaching guide to creativity. I would recommend this book and author to EVERYONE who wants to get deep into their creative self. Well written - full of encouragement - and this "Complete" edition is a bonus with the Cameron's three-books-in-one. I also recomend the seller - fast delivery - and the book was in excellent condition.
