This is a rare book that reveals the true source of creativity. I read other books on creativity, but none of them helped me because they were all based on the false premise: Creativity belongs to individuals. How could they when that belief is the very obstacle to creativity?
The author weaves his creative/spiritual journey and other authors’ in a flowing manner to guide us toward the true source of creativity. His experiences were so relatable that I often felt he was describing my experiences, especially deep paradoxes that come up on the journey and how he navigated them. This confirmed that despite our different circumstances, we are all on the same journey, awakening to our true Source.
The book was insightful throughout, but the last three chapters were most illuminating. I particularly enjoyed Chapter 14 in which his deep introspection peels back the layers of resistance and penetrates its core. We think we have surrendered, but we rarely have. Total surrender is the key to creativity, so the chapter is a must-read not just for writers but for anyone who wants to live a truly free and creative life.
This book is by far the best book I have read on creativity. I hope it will reach many people and help them freed from creative block, procrastination, paralyzing self-doubt, and perfectionism.
