Loading... Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fearby Elizabeth Gilbert
   No current Talk conversations about this book. Good book for me, offering some useful ideas and “swing thoughts” like “Done is better than good” and “the arrogance of belonging.” Almost an extended poem. (  ) brook11trout | May 6, 2023 |  Beautifully written. I don't agree with every dogma or affirmation the book gives, but if you're looking for a kick to start a more creative life, it's worth it (  ) mcambroneroa | Apr 21, 2023 | I loved this book. I listened to the book on CD and wish Elizabeth Gilbert would read me a bedtime story every night. She has a beautiful voice. The insight she shared was spot on. I recommend this to anyone, even those without a creative occupation. I'm sure it would be helpful to those who create for a living but those of us who do not also have a innate need to create and be joyful in that process. (  ) AngiCox | Mar 20, 2023 | OK, I'm the only Elizabeth Gilbert fan out there who hasn't read Eat, Pray, Love. The truth is, she had me at City of Girls. Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert is a powerful self-help book (especially for writers!) exploring the nature of creativity and how to wrap your hands around it in your own life. Gilbert goes memoir-style with her own writing experiences to offer powerful observations on the creative process, as well as "personal-experience" advice for overcoming fear and self-doubt. She's funny, she motivates me, and she knows writing. A definite must-read for anyone convinced they're hiding an artist inside. ( ) Cam_Torrens | Mar 17, 2023 | I loved this book from cover to cover and am in such rapture over it even days after finishing it. This book made me laugh, smile, and a lot of the time if made me think. About who I am and what I want, about whether I am living my life in accordance with the person I want to become and who that person is. This was an amazingly well done, magic filled, success by Gilbert and it makes me want to go grab up the rest of what she has written and see what is in those, too. (Aside from Eat, Pray, Love, of course, due to finding and falling in love with that years and years ago, 1-2 months right before I moved across the world to Korea.)
