Big Magic

"The craftsmanship of that wand, which is perhaps the most terrifying and thrilling task of the creative person in any domain of endeavor, is what Elizabeth Gilbert explores in Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear ( public library ) — a lucid and luminous inquiry into the relationship between human beings and the mysteries of the creative experience, as defined by Gilbert’s beautifully broad notion of “living a life that is driven more strongly by curiosity than by fear.”"

"My wife gave me a copy of "Big Magic," by Elizabeth Gilbert, and I found it incredibly inspiring."

"My whole mind-set started to shift. I refused to let my creative aspirations burden me and allowed my imagination to guide me."
