Encouraging book for creatives; good for group discussion
I really enjoyed Kent's book. It's a book you can read in chunks as you need some encouragement, inspiration or the occasional kick in the pants!
Kent covers topics alphabetically from the dreaded "blank page" to doubt, failure, critics, the mind, old things, love, etc. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter. While questions are helpful to answer individually, I see the benefit of getting a group of creatives together to discuss them. The conversation, growth and encouragement could be incredibly encouraging, especially as we creatives can spend a lot of time doing our art!
This book is geared for creatives in general- painters, designers, musicians, writers, speakers, etc., but the topics are specific to the struggles and needs we have. There are also several links within the ebook to other helpful resources.
A wonderful companion!
A book I will carry with me both literally and metaphorically, for this wee book offers huge encouragements and guidance. Packed with wisdom, the book spurs us onward with clarion calls to live the life authentic and true, always offering one's very best. It reads as if Kent knows so well your own creative heart and calling; he speaks into the deep places with clarity and conviction. The questions for reflection are very useful, as are the ideas and resources offered throughout. Here is realism and optimism hand in hand, taking you and I by the hand to our creative sources and tasks for today and tomorrow. Both pragmatic and philosophical, this book is now firmly tucked into my pocket! It is already well used, it will also serve as a well for constantly dipping into, a companion and source of inspiration. (Julie)
Awaken the Artist Within
I absolutely loved this book! Rather than the usual "bloat" that many similar volumes contain, the author has boiled his advice and insights down to only the most valuable components. Every page is rich with meaning and purpose.
As someone who has in the past denied her creative side, this book is a great reminder about the importance of making art a part of my life.
