4.5
As a whole, I really enjoyed this book! I wasn’t expecting it to be so focused on writing (I should’ve because this woman is an author) but a lot of the examples and advice could be applied to broader topics. The beginning was a bit slow but by the middle it picked up and towards the end I was enjoying the exploration thoroughly! I found a lot of the content pretty thought-provoking and I definitely grew to appreciate the lens in which Elizabeth Gilbert applies to view life!
I think the idea that creativity is inherently valuable ‘BECAUSE’ was fun to entertain. Mainly due to the fact that I didn’t consciously know that I already believed this to be true! So although I didn’t really shift in my perspective any personally, this book was fun because it felt conversational on a topic that I hadn’t given a lot of thought to but agreed with!
