"This book has been around for a long time, and I hope it sticks
around forever. It guides the reader through a fascinating (and
fun) 12-week-long program of exercises and explorations that help
loosen up one's artistic self. It takes you on a journey that will
cost you nothing (aside from the guidebook) and it brings much
insight, gently helping you see what is holding you back, and
showing you how to move forward. Three times in the last decade
I've committed to doing The Artist's Way's program, and each time
I've learned something important and surprising about myself and my
work. Just to show how influential it's been to me--the first time
I did the program, I had decided by end of it that I wanted to 1)
travel to Italy and learn Italian, 2) Go to an Ashram in India, and
3) Return to Indonesia to study with the old medicine man I'd once
met there. We all know what THAT decision led to. . . Without The
Artist's Way, there would have been no Eat, Pray, Love."
--Elizabeth Gilbert "THE ARTIST'S WAY by Julia Cameron is not
exclusively about writing--it is about discovering and developing
the artist within whether a painter, poet, screenwriter or
musician--but it is a lot about writing. If you have always wanted
to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create
with words or paints, this book will gently get you started and
help you learn all kinds of paying-attention techniques; and that,
after all, is what being an artist is all about. It's about
learning to pay attention."
--Anne Lamott, Mademoiselle "The premise of the book is that
creativity and spirituality are the same thing, they come from the
same place. And we were created to use this life to express our
individuality, and that over the course of a lifetime that gets
beaten out of us. [THE ARTIST'S WAY] helped me put aside my fear
and not worry about whether the record would be commercial."
--Grammy award-winning singer Kathy Mattea "Julia Cameron brings
creativity and spirituality together with the same kind of
step-by-step wisdom that Edgar Cayce encouraged. The result is
spiritual creativity as a consistent and nourishing part of daily
life."
--Venture Inward "I never knew I was a visual artist until I read
Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY."
--Jannene Behl in Artist's Magazine "Julia Cameron's landmark book
THE ARTIST'S WAY helped me figure out who I really was as an adult,
not so much as an artist but as a person. And award-winning
journalist and poet, Cameron's genius is that she doesn't tell
readers what they should do to achieve or who they should
be--instead she creates a map for readers to start exploring these
questions themselves."
--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine "This is not a
self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply a powerful book
that can challenge one to move into an entirely different state of
personal expression and growth."
--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon "THE ARTIST'S WAY (with its companion
volume THE ARTIST'S WAY MORNING PAGES JOURNAL) becomes a friend
over time, not just a journal. Like a journal, it provokes
spontaneous insights and solutions; beyond journaling, it
establishes a process that is interactive and dynamic."
--Theresa L. Crenshaw, M.D., San Diego Union-Tribune "If you really
want to supercharge your writing, I recommend that you get a copy
of Julia Cameron's book THE ARTIST'S WAY. I'm not a big fan of
self-help books, but this book has changed my life for the better
and restored my previously lagging creativity."
--Jeffrey Bairstow, Laser Focus World "Working with the principle
that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Cameron
developed a three month program to recover creativity. THE ARTIST'S
WAY shows how to tap into the higher power that connects human
creativity and the creative energies of the universe."
--Mike Gossie, Scottsdale Tribune "THE ARTIST'S WAY is the seminal
book on the subject of creativity and an invaluable guide to living
the artistic life. Still as vital today--or perhaps even more
so--than it was when it was first published in 1992, it is a
provocative and inspiring work. Updated and expanded, it reframes
THE ARTIST'S WAY for a new century."
--Branches of Light "THE ARTIST'S WAY has sold over 3 million
copies since its publication in 1992. Cameron still teaches it
because there is sustained demand for its thoughtful, spiritual
approach to unblocking and nurturing creativity. It is, dare we
say, timeless."
--Nancy Colasurdo, FOXBusiness Praise for VEIN OF GOLD, the second
volume in the ARTIST'S WAY trilogy
"For those seeking the wellspring of creativity, this book, like
its predecessor, is a solid gold diving rod."
