I almost didn't purchase this book after reading several mediocre reviews, but I'm eternally grateful I did. Never have a read something that has changed my perspective so profoundly and altered my life in such an incredible way. Beautifully read by the author, Big Magic is captivating and packed full of wisdom, humour, and truth. I recommend this to everyone.

This booo has really helped me a lot as a creative and I found it at the perfect time. More specifically, the advice to support my art instead of expecting my art to support me has shown me how my pursuits to make my living off my creativity is the cause of a lot of suffering at the moment. A lot of great wisdom I’ve never had before; as no one else has shown me how to be a creative x

One of the most useful manuals to living a creative life I have ever read. It’s simple yet profound. Definitely champions the Trickster in us, daring us to say “YES” to the ideas which have chosen us.

Loved it! It's inspiring, empowering and funny. It's even more magnificent because it's read by the author herself. Finished it in two days.

Elizabeth beautifully reminds us to live a life filled with curiosity and trying out new things. I love how she looks at passion differently and talks about going for something despite knowing you might fail.

life is afterall all about the small experiences.

A beautifully written inspiring story.

When you need a motivational kick up the butt every now and then, this is perfect! She frames up creativity, fear and motivation so well.

Everyone should read this no matter what you do.

Highly recommend
