Description
A rich inner life is not just the preserve of the arts. The joys, fears and profound self-discoveries of creativity-through making or building anything that wasn't there before, any imaginative exploration or attempt to invent-I believe to be the birthright of every person on this earth. If you live your life with curiosity and intention-or would like to-this book is for you.
In this essential, illuminating book, award-winning writer Charlotte Wood shares the insights she has gained over a career paying close attention to her own mind, to the world around her and to the way she and others work.
Drawing on research and decades of observant conversation and deep reading, Charlotte shares what artists can teach the rest of us about inspiration and hard work, how to pursue truth in art and life, and to find courage during the difficult times: facing down what we fear and keeping going when things seem hopeless.
'This collection is open, honest and generous. Magnificent, intelligent writing.' - Good Reading
