Charlotte Wood discusses her new book, The Luminous Solution, with Ailsa Piper.

In this essential, illuminating book, Charlotte shares the insights she has gained over a career paying close attention to her own creativity, to the world around her, and to the way she and others work, drawing on research, decades of observant conversation and immersive reading. She shares what artists can teach the rest of us about inspiration and hard work, how to pursue truth in art and life, and how to find courage during the difficult times: facing down what we fear and persevering when things seem hopeless.
