In this book, you can learn how to recover your creativity. Readers follow a 12-week program.
This book was published in 1992 and has sold several million copies.
Many famous people have read this book, such as Olivia Rodrigo, Bella Hadid, Alicia Keys, and Patricia Cornwell.
This book really changed my life, and I am very grateful for it.
The first time I read this book was two years ago. I watched YouTube videos about it and became interested. Then I bought the book and read it.
However, I read it very quickly and did not do the activities in the book. I did not feel anything special, so I sold it soon.
Several months later, I became interested in the book again and bought it once more.
This time, I read it very slowly and did the activities in the book.
Each time I did the activities, my life changed little by little. After finishing the book, my life changed a lot.
I experienced the following changes:
- My room gradually became clean.
- I sold my old clothes.
- I sold many books.
- I got two English teaching certifications and became an English teacher.
- I began to ask myself questions, and my creativity recovered.
In the book, I especially like the activities called Morning Pages and the Artist Date.
Morning Pages are handwritten journal entries done in the morning. When you wake up, you write three pages of your thoughts and emotions by hand in a notebook. This helps you organize your thoughts and recover your creativity.
The Artist Date is a solo trip for two hours once a week. It is a date with yourself. You discover what you like and enjoy new experiences.
Artist Dates include activities such as going to local art museums, visiting parks, exploring unfamiliar shops, taking photos, watching sports at a stadium, or seeing a musical.
I felt that this book has great power. However, readers must do the activities seriously to get the best results.
If you do not have much time, it is good to do only Morning Pages and Artist Dates.
If you want to change your life, improve your creativity, and find your dreams, I recommend this book.
This book might become a turning point in your life.
