Unable to finish since it feels like something that would be given to you by a cult recruiter. I wanted the small nuggets that provoked thought to be worth the read, but the book isn’t rooted in much besides abstract words and concepts like “vessel” and “source”. The spiritual pep-talk doesn’t mesh enough with the creative message… if there is a creative message. The pages are sparse with words. If you’re going to read this book either don’t buy it full price or have minimal expectations beyond a minimalistic coffee table decor piece.
