Years of unanswered questions answered!
I've always been a creative person driven by inspiration & passion but never understood why I couldn't hold those feelings all the time or why when I stopping creating I'd feel like life had no meaning. This book explains all this & has helped me immensely in understanding how I work inside & what I have gone through as a creative person is normal! This book answers so many unanswered questions - a new ago of personal develop is revealed in this book. Am so grateful to have read it!

Mind blowing
I didn't know what to expect from this book I loved the cover and the words spoke to me so I thought I would give it a go, I had no idea I would be so over the moon with this purchase, as a graphic design and web developer a lot of the creative talk really had me thinking and has set me on a path that will allow my creativity to grow without putting boundaries and financial pressure around it, I love the story's of the women who gets tattoos and I'm putting into practice going with what I want and what makes me feel good without looking to others for advice or permission

Inspiring and enjoyable
As with most texts, the actual concept here is pretty simple. But the author goes on to illustrate it with many colourful examples. I really enjoyed it. I found myself having to stop and tell my partner some of the stories, even though SHE recommended the book to me.

Required reading
What did you like most about Big Magic?
Liz Gilbert is practical AND inspired... she uses story telling to get to the heart of lessons learned over her career. I also love that the book is read by the author. She has a wonderful voice. I've listed to this twice and bought the book for others.
What did you like best about this story?
It's honest.
Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Gilbert’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've seen her speak live and I also enjoyed Elizabeth Gilbert's pod casts. Love her work. This book is specific to creativity. It's a guidebook for living a creative life. (I'm not going to say self help...)
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I'll be using her analysis of fear in my coaching and training.
