Synopsis In this bestselling and now classic workbook for writers and other creative types, Julia Cameron, who has written award-winning screenplays and magazine articles, lays out a path based on spiritual principles and practices for those who feel blocked. Cameron presents specific, practical activities and supportive guidance in a voice that inspires self-confidence in the student. There are a few musts--such as keeping a morning journal--as well as exercises and check-ins for staying on track. But mostly Cameron's program builds logically on a writer's growing sense of safety and autonomy. This is definitely a workshop that uses spirituality to unleash creativity, but it also uses creativity to inspire spirituality--and anyone with an open mind will be able to find something useful in this coherent, intelligently-presented course. THE ARTIST'S WAY was enormously popular when it was first published, and it has stood the test of time.

Industry Reviews "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." Publisher's Catalog - Martin Scorcese
"If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create with music or 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." Publisher's Catalog - Anne Lamott
"Not since Dorthea Brande's 'Becoming A Writer' and anything by Alan Watts has there been such a magnificent book about the soul of creativity. The Artist's Way is a treasure of a process text that makes creative uncomprehendability comprehensible for all." publisher catalog - Lew Hunter
