Jill Badonsky just gets it. She understands the creative heart and walks the talk. We all need this book to dispel the cold-engine crankiness of the world and keep our creative engines humming along, whether it's finding ways to negotiate day-to-day doings or re-invigorating a long-held daring dream. I was lucky enough to run across Jill Badonsky’s solidly lighthearted approach to the creative life a few years ago, and have been on the bandwagon of her powerfully playful philosophies ever since. I've gifted copies of this book to almost every friend I know and love, and they all thank me for it and re-read it often. I keep it on my nightstand as a perennial favorite. Just five minutes with it in the morning or evening will have you smiling and gently getting in the groove of saying So Long to the perfectionism, procrastination, overwhelm, and stuck-in-a-rut places. She knows the secrets and seriously savvy insights and silliness that work subversively in tuning up your vibe. The fuller permission you've been waiting for to write, to draw, to paint, to cook, to dance, to make music, and to LIVE with more "I've Got This" mojo and gratitude reside right here in these joy-spiced pages. Don't let the whimsy fool you—it's deceptively powerful and zips under your Inner Critic's radar to spark your innate wisdom and keep you fueled with smiles of Ta-DA and satisfaction along the journey.

Jill Badonsky...my newest MUSE!

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a necessity for me. I use the calendar in it every day to give me either a writing prompt or an idea of something I could paint, draw, or make a collage of. It also teaches you a lot about different authors, artists, screenwriters,etc. This book ALSO is a wonderful help with getting your head out of yyour patootie and get motivated to write. It has tons of creative exercises to help you with writer's block, lack of mojo, whatever you want to call it. The illustrations are all done by Jill Badonsky, the author, and are a hoot! Enjoy this creativity boosting work. I paid 5 bucks for a used copy on amazon.com just so I could write notes all over the margins!

The Muse Is In: An Owner's Manual to Your Creativity
The Muse is In: An owner’s manual to your creativity is exactly that. If you have ever been a bit lost in trying to find your creative voice then this is a map to help you. Beautifully written in a witty and engaging style it should be on every Creative Coaches book shelf. Written not only for coaches but also for anyone interested in developing their creativity, it is an easy read and full of exercises and tool to help you explore your creativity. It offers solution to help find focus, enjoyment in the process and tools to counter other block. I have both the hard copy and the digital version and refer to them both regularly. Highly recommend it.

This book is a work of art. Yes, it's thoughtful, mindful, focused, and beautifully on point, but this little gem is a gift, even though one buys it. I will cherish this valuable, meaningful and playful approach forever. It is a pure joy to look at the beautifully colorful pages, diagrams. examples, suggestions, mind-maps, drawings and perfect quotations. I simply love it and I'm so glad to own a copy. Thank you to this amazing author.

One of those magical and welcomed nuggets of GOOD ~~

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Jill Badonsky walks her talk in the world of creating, writing, and generously sharing the gold for the good of others. She is also extremely talented and hilarious.

This book, which is a delight to hold in your hands and to feast your eyes upon, is also incredibly practical and helpful if you're a someone who feels called, tempted, doubtful, self-critical (etc).

In addition to offering us a daily nugget of inspiration, she also shares ideas, steps along with wise and experienced encouragement for LIFE.

One of my favorite quotations Jill offered (early in the book) reached out and caught my heart: a beacon of creative kindness. (more below)

Also enclosed are "suggestions" and ideas to be creatively kind and supportive of yourself, your art, your creativity and expression.

I highly recommend ~~

",,,you may discover you're a playwright, a sculptor, a kitchen-table comedian,
a beacon of creative kindness, or
a person who chooses grace over ego and
contentment over greed.
And in that choice
you will create
a world of joy within yourself;
you'll be an artist of living life."

This will be my companion for 2013 and I'm delighted! Thank you, Jill ~~

Exactly what every creative soul needs - the cleverness keeps us smiling; the tools, tidbits, and extremely wise insights get us honouring our creative soul. In a world that does little to support creative people, this is exactly the 'bible' we need.

The content is great the formatting is almost unreadable on Kindle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this book on Kindle as it is mainly sold through US suppliers and I was keen to read it in the UK. It's a really up-beat and nicely written and illustrated book BUT it is not responsively formatted for Kindle. Illustrations are chopped in half (or worse) and the colour palette is almost unreadable - buff on white? Please fix these and release an update to this version, my stars are for the hard work he author has put in to the content.
