A review by wildc
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

5.0

I wasn't a big fan of Eat, Pray, Love so I wasn't expecting too much from this book but it turned out to be one of the best books on the creative life that I've read - and I've read a lot! Side-splittingly funny and profound at the same time, Elizabeth Gilbert debunks a good number of urban myths about the creative life while sharing her down to earth perspective on how to keep creating in the face of fear and rejection - and still come out believing in creative magic. If you're in need of a creative kick in the pants, read this immediately and I defy you not to feel re-inspired!
