Interesting little book full of good ideas to jumpstart your creativity. Sometimes we all need a nudge, or to give the inner critic a good shove out of the way. ( )

Ok, so the synopsis (from Amazon) doesn't do much for making the book 52 Projects appealing in anyway...but I highly recommend that you visit Yamaguchi's website (www.52projects) if you want a better ideas of what this book is all about...or just buy it and read it!

I would recommend it without hesitation for anyone looking to jumpstart their creativity...you don't really get specific idas or "do this" type of information for the most part in this book...what you get are pretty open-ended "assignments" to ponder and do on your own terms.

I've been inspired by both Project 29 and my own variation of Project 21. I have enjoyed the book and for the price, I think the time spent reading 52 Things was well worth it!

This might be fun to buy with a group of friends (splitting the cost even) and try the projects out together or do some individually and then share the results of your creativity! Just all around fun! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399532064, Paperback)

Jeffrey Yamaguchi extends an invitation to indulge one's inner artist by committing yourself to one creative project a week for 52 weeks. 52 Projects chronicles the author's artistic journey over the course of one year and how it changed his life-and also offers 52 jumping-off points for the reader's own creative inspiration:

- Frame a picture you've drawn, painted, or photographed-and hang it up in a public environment
- Write the story of why you moved to the city in which you currently live
- Ask your grandparents to tell you their stories-and document them
- Create something while your laundry is washing and drying
- Make the perfect margarita-and drink it
- Send a friend a Chinese take-out menu and chopsticks
- Stay up all night-and make the most of it
