"With its gentle affirmations, inspirational quotes, fill-in-the-blank lists and tasks — write yourself a thank-you letter, describe yourself at 80, for example — The Artist’s Way proposes an egalitarian view of creativity: Everyone’s got it."—The New York Times
"Morning Pages have become a household name, a shorthand for unlocking your creative potential"—Vogue

Gives you tools to spark your creativity
"This was the perfect book to help through my creative fog. Was feeling lost and it helped give me tools to find inspiration so much so that I've recommended to 2 other friends. Highly recommended!"
— Jen V. (5/5)
Wonderful book. Start now!
"Excellent workbook. Actually works. I'm on my third go round with it myself, and bought extras for my family members. Had the rare joy of my sister inviting me to do our morning pages at the same time at the table the other day. It's working. Things happen when you do this book. Good things."
— N J. (5/5)
Inspiring and practical!
"Great inspiring book for all creatives with practical tools."

Just what I needed
"I’ve heard this was an excellent book and that it meets you right where you are…with what you need. So far I found that to be true and I’m excited to keep reading!"
— Katr (5/5)
A Companion For Recovering Your Creativity
"Love doing this gradually. 12 weeks for me was too fast, I like to pick it up and take my time with the exercises. Morning pages are a nourishing addition to my morning routine."
— Josie (5/5)
Amazing to help with your creativity!
"I've only read 2 chapters so far and I feel like I've been more creative in these last couple weeks than the last 3 years."
— J. M. (5/5)
Enrichissant
"Techniques intéressantes permettant d’entamer des réflexions par rapport à soi-même et son approche à tout ce qui englobe l’art."
— Lea B. (4/5)
Great inspiration - surprising results
"This is a great guide for a different approach to enhancing creativity. I have found the morning pages to be impactful in multiple areas of my life - not just making space for creativity."
— Mary B. (5/5)
The title said everything.
"This book is a must-have for any individual who is artistic in any way."
— Kat W. (5/5)
Best book for (closeted) artists, if you are patient (or working on it)
"This is not a book you finish in a week of reading. It’s takes time and commitment to really benefit from everything the author talks about. There are exercises and you reach a point where the author encourages you to read only one chapter per week. It’s almost like “cbt therapy” for anyone who values creativity, not only artists."
— Marcela J. (5/5)

“Without The Artist's Way, there would have been no Eat, Pray, Love.” —Elizabeth Gilbert
"The Artist's Way is not exclusively about writing—it is about discovering and developing the artist within, whether a painter, poet, screenwriter, or musician—but it is a lot about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints, this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds of paying-attention techniques; and that, after all, is what being an artist is all about. It's about learning to pay attention." —Anne Lamott
"This is a book that addresses a delicate and complex subject. For those who will use it, it is a valuable tool to get in touch with their own creativity." —Martin Scorsese
