Some great pieces of advice, but the over-abundant spirituality aspect can get a bit much. I do the Morning Pages and have found a difference in my creative life, so I’m grateful for that. The majority of the other exercises do not appeal to me at all; they feel like something kids might do on a religious sleep-away camp.

After a while I started ignoring the tasks and just read for help for the different problems artists face. There is a lot of personal/anectdotal material and things are repeated throughout the three books but the overall messages are necessary in order to "keep on keeping on."

This collection of three books are supposed to help your creativity through spiritual practice. Between its overtly religious tones and the 12 A.A.-like steps I found this book not useful and annoying to read. I couldn't finish it. If you are an amateur artist like me, should you really be treating lapses of creativity as a disease? The cure seems worse than the disease.
