I am a fan of Jill Badonsky and her books. The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard) is a different way of looking at the many ways that artist and creative types block their own creativity. The muses guide you through ways to invite creativity back into your life. There are so many activities and prompts to follow that you are bound to find some that resonate with you.

A CALL TO ARTISTS, WRITERS AND CREATIVE THINKERS EVERYWHERE!

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2007

If you haven't yet had the privilege of reading Jill Badonsky's magnificently motivating book The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard) you MUST find a copy and read it.

A Master Muse of our time...Jill Badonsky is a witty , sometimes wickedly irreverent, delightful and brainy Tinkerbellesque Warrior of the creative enchanted mind; illuminating the magic and possibility of creative ideas, visions and artistic dreams. This is a writer that not only walks her talk...she lives it.

The Nine Modern Day Muses gives you serious tools to take your dreams and your goals from imagination to reality. This brilliant and delicious recipe is that of an intellectual gourmand with a sense of humor. Ms. Badonsky shares cutting-edge psychological technologies, specific exercises and the extraordinary power of guided imagery to aid us in winning the battle against self-sabotage and marauding inner critics. Add to that a dash of whimsy and several pinches of joyful, motivational merriment and you have a reference that takes significant information and presents it with a sense of ease and FUN!

You will find yourself picking up this timeless creative classic again and again and again. There is a mysterious energetic resonance that infuses THE NINE MODERN DAY MUSES. With each read, no matter what page you may choose, the book seems to reveal another layer of excellent information; as though the Muse Faerie Scholars come out when it's on the shelf and add more dazzling, thought-provoking ideas!

This is NOT just a book for Artists, Craftspeople, Poets, Writers and Lovers. This is a book for EVERY HUMAN BEING. We are all students of ourselves.

JILL BADONSKY'S THE NINE MODERN DAY MUSES (and a Bodyguard) will lovingly speak in non-judgmental voices and persuade you to consider the power of yourself...the Wildchild you still are... and the inimitable gifts you have to share with our world.

Post Script: A SECRET...The latest word on the streets of Museopolis is that Jill Badonsky and her Muses are soon to launch another inspirational and brilliant morsel...The AWE-MANAC. Keep your eyes open for it this September!

Simply excellent

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2004

I have so enjoyed reading and working through this book and found it useful, but entertaining at the same time (how many things can you say THAT about?).
I've been formulating in my mind what I wanted to write here, about why this is such a great book and great approach, but every single attribute I wanted to highlight has already been expressed; and I don't wish to be redundant LOL!
Simply put, it isn't for artistes only, and it will add sparkle and personal depth to your daily existence. Definitely worth the money.

Inspiration and Fun

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

Verified Purchase

I have read this book several times since first purchasing it in 2003 and refer to it often. It is a great source of inspiration and fun, with quotes and prompts that easily will assist any individual who is stuck, blocked or procrastinating in thier own creative process. It is also an invaluable reference guide for anyone seeking new ways of looking at how to bring creativity into your work environment be it teaching, business etc. I initially purchased the book to inspire myself in my own creative journey but now as a Creativity Coach I refer others to it often. The Muses have become my faithful companions and their insights and suggestions never let me down. Read it, have fun and be inspired!

This is THE book for creative people... the true tools of the muse trade. Meaning, here's where you can find your way to be the creative being you really are meant to be.

Creative principles in the guise of quirky modern day muses. Jill's writing style is inspiring, and delightful. Genius, really.
