Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
2.75
I thought the overall concept of “big magic”—the magical and otherworldly powers of creativity and inspiration, not created by us but rather separate entities that come and go at will—was an interesting and inspiring philosophy to learn about and did leave me with a new perspective. I also liked her thoughts related to letting go fear and creating for creating sake without expectations and how that can free us.
What I didn’t like was the rambling, intangible approach it took. At times the content and narrative felt confusing and unsure about the takeaways of the chapters and book. I would recommend this for people who need to hear these two messages: 1) create without expectations and 2) also separate your ego from the work - your not the genius behind this and that is OK, even freeing!
