Living the Artist's Way

Arrived in correct time. In excellent condition

Great like all her other books

I've bought almost all her books and look forward to listening to this. She's a very good writer, her work is clear and concise and I never fail to learn from her.

I have been a fan of Cameron's for years. I always benefited from journaling and Cameron's concept of Morning Pages brought insights from that experience to a new level. Writing for personal expression and insight is one thing but doing it for guidance is at another level. One reason I like Cameron's teaching is her belief in higher forces that can provide guidance. Her method is not restricted to a certain religious discipline but can be used by people of any faith. As is her habit of late, Cameron lets us look into her own life and the lives of others as to how writing for guidance plays out. She also gives exercises such as questions to ask to set off the writing experience. She stimulates us to write about concerns we have, decisions we need to make, areas where we need more information, and more. Cameron has given us many tools over the years: Morning Pages, Artist's Dates, Walks, and now Writing for Guidance. I, like many others, have found great benefit in following these practices and recommend her latest book to continue the writing experiences. Try it out by writing on “I wish I could...” I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

I loved this book so much I book clubbed it with others and now they’re book clubbing it with others. Thank you Julia Cameron for writing a 12 steps for artists.

I'll be quick. July 1995: My late wife buys me THE ARTIST'S WAY August 1995: I start doing the morning pages. October 1995: I stop gambling. November 1995: I stop drinking December 1995: I start writing what would be my first novel. It's 28+ years later. I have written 10 books. And I still do the morning pages every day. But I am in the hallway creatively and spiritually. And of course, here comes this book Saturday. Suddenly, I feel like I have a shot. Let's see if someone else's work can change a life twice....

Great book, Loved.

It is like reading someone's daily journal. At Week 2 (approx p 47), I started just reading the week's subject matter, reading the side quotes, and reading the last page for the prompt. The book reminded me of how often morning pages have been of great benefit to me in life -- I could have just reviewed the Artists' Way. But I am glad I supported Ms. Cameron.

This entire range of books is helpful and thought-provoking, and I love them all!! Very insightful and provokes action!

I can’t give the book itself a bad review because it’s Julia Cameron and how much more awesome can an author be? But this book arrived damaged, just wanted to provide that feedback.

Good

A good meditative read.

I got such a lot out of The Artist’s Way and was excited to get this - I even pre-ordered it. But sadly, I hate the pious tone. She gives lengthy descriptions of her days and thought processes and interactions with her friends, who sound smug. On the upside: I’ve started doing the morning pages again.
