Calming and reassuring; I prefer something with grit

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this based on one chapter I read - as it turns out, that chapter was for me the key one. The book overall is OK but I prefer something a little grittier and less psychologically positioned. I can however see why it would appeal to a broad range of would-be artists or people who have had some negative experiences in letting their creativity shine. It is what I would call a comfy, pleasant read. The author has a reassuringly gentle tone that is empowering. If you respond to 'tough love' or direct hard-hitting language then this may not be the right book for you.

Marry Your Muse is fabulous

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2007

Jan Phillips says what you and I need to hear. Touching our inner creative selves allows us to learn to become authentic, which can heal ourselves and others. I cannot say enough about the power of these words. Similar to the Artist Way book series, this one seems to take us one step further. Good quotes in the margins and some suggested helpful activities to practice. I bought the book for a university course I'm taking, but am so very thankful that I ran across it at all.

Loved it

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

Jan Phillips accomplished her goal if her goal was to inspire and encourage many creative journeys. I found the chapters brief enough to be enjoyed individually or as part of the larger sections. I read it forward and some days from the back and felt completely validated. The photos helped place the creative effort in the ordinary and in simplicity. My muse and I are in the courtship phase but after reading this book and following some of the exercise suggestions I believe my muse and I will become engaged pretty soon.

A very concise book written with humor and sensitivity. Includes professional references and author Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen is a rather prolific writer herself. Well worth purchasing ~ this is one of those books I will keep in my personal library and definitely share with close friends.
