A review by cryzll91
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author is witty and perceptive.  I love her fresh takes on several stereotypes associated with the creative life. It's not every day that one encounters a writer with this level of pragmatism that elevates her artistic sensibilities. There were definitely many points at which I paused and reflected on my own approach towards living and creativity. I found it particularly interesting that she personalises several concepts like creativity, ideas and inspiration. I love how she embraces being slightly delusional and being choosey about being the positive kind. There's so much to learn from Elizabeth Gilbert. That being said, there were parts that were kind of repetitive that spoilt the pacing for me a bit. However, it still remains deeply insightful.
