Ideal for creative individuals, artists, and anyone seeking inspiration to cultivate their imagination and embrace the creative process with courage.

From the creative minds at Flow magazine, a practical and inspirational guide to finding the courage creativity requires: the courage to fail, the courage to step out of one's comfort zone, the courage to be bored, the courage to get started. Twelve creative "dares" are presented with text, illustration, fill-in pages, and paper goodies—all in the name of inspiring creative activity.

Description

It's not always easy to be creative—to give our minds space to roam while ignoring our inner critic, to stare down a blank page and make the leap from nothing to anything. It takes courage. Finding the courage to create is something the editors of Flow know a lot about.

Creativity is a central value of the Flow mission, evident in every issue that bursts with the wild imaginations of its artists, writers, and editors. In Creativity Takes Courage, Flow brings together inspiration, hands-on projects, boundary-pushing activities, and special paper goodies to show readers how to unleash their inner artists.

Organised around a series of twelve "dares"—including Dare to Fail, Dare to Be a Kid, Dare to Be Bored, Dare to Go Offline, Dare to Collaborate—Creativity Takes Courage encourages the reader to be fully present... and spend idle time staring out the window. To leave your comfort zone and start a project, without hesitation... and nourish yourself with museum visits and reading time.

Each dare includes fill-in pages and prompts to go deeper into what motivates us or hinders us, like mindful questions to identify fears of failure, or a Dare to Commit notebook for recording both daily and weekly projects.

It's the illustrated and fully interactive gift of how to live more creatively and enjoy every minute of the process, no matter what the result.
