Member recommendations

DetailMuse recommends A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink, "Readers wanting to practice Cameron's recommendation for Artist Dates will find dozens of ideas in the exercises and sources within Pink's book."
greggchadwick recommends Stoking the Creative Fires: 9 Ways to Rekindle Passion and Imagination by Phil Cousineau, "Phil Cousineau's "Stoking the Creative Fires" is a needed kick in the pants in the realm of books on the creative process. Phil's work with Joseph Campbell (see more) and Huston Smith links "Stoking the Creative Fires" to myth and history."

inspiration and encouragement and a great kick-in-the-pants to work for every kind of artist. i just wish Cameron had gone ahead and referred to her divine source as God, rather than repeatedly calling it Good Orderly Direction. I suppose she did not want to offend non-believers, but her later books clearly call her source, God. (

Subtitle: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. Cameron lays out a weekly path for creatives to follow to unblock, gain confidence and strength, and follow their creativity. Half helpful, half Cameron's own thoughts and repeated stories. Good excercises. (

Amazon.com (ISBN 0874776945, Paperback)

With the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan lead you through a comprehensive twelve-week program to recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other inhibiting forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity.

This book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the creative energies of the universe, and has, in the four years since its publication, spawned a remarkable number of support groups for artists dedicated to practicing the exercises it contains.
