Publisher Comments

The Artist's Way is the seminal book on the subject of creativity. An international bestseller, millions of readers have found it to be an invaluable guide to living the artist's life. Still as vital today-or perhaps even more so-than it was when it was first published one decade ago, it is a powerfully provocative and inspiring work. In a new introduction to the book, Julia Cameron reflects upon the impact of The Artist's Way and describes the work she has done during the last decade and the new insights into the creative process that she has gained. Updated and expanded, this anniversary edition reframes The Artist's Way for a new century.

Review

“THE ARTISTS WAY by Julia Cameron 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. Its about learning to pay attention.”

--Anne Lamott, Mademoiselle

 

“The premise of the book is that creativity and spirituality are the same thing, they come from the same place. And we were created to use this life to express our individuality, and that over the course of a lifetime that gets beaten out of us. [THE ARTISTS WAY] helped me put aside my fear and not worry about whether the record would be commercial.”

--Grammy award-winning singer Kathy Mattea

 

“Julia Cameron brings creativity and spirituality together with the same kind of step-by-step wisdom that Edgar Cayce encouraged. The result is spiritual creativity as a consistent and nourishing part of daily life.”

--Venture Inward

 

“I never knew I was a visual artist until I read Julia Camerons THE ARTISTS WAY.”

--Jannene Behl in Artists Magazine

 

“Julia Camerons landmark book THE ARTISTS WAY helped me figure out who I really was as an adult, not so much as an artist but as a person. And award-winning journalist and poet, Camerons genius is that she doesnt tell readers what they should do to achieve or who they should be—instead she creates a map for readers to start exploring these questions themselves.”

--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine

 

“This is not a self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply a powerful book that can challenge one to move into an entirely different state of personal expression and growth.”

--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon

 

“THE ARTISTS WAY (with its companion volume THE ARTISTS WAY MORNING PAGES JOURNAL) becomes a friend over time, not just a journal. Like a journal, it provokes spontaneous insights and solutions; beyond journaling, it establishes a process that is interactive and dynamic.”

--Theresa L. Crenshaw, M.D., San Diego Union-Tribune

 

 “If you really want to supercharge your writing, I recommend that you get a copy of Julia Camerons book THE ARTISTS WAY. Im not a big fan of self-help books, but this book has changed my life for the better and restored my previously lagging creativity.”

--Jeffrey Bairstow, Laser Focus World

 

“Working with the principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Cameron developed a three month program to recover creativity. THE ARTISTS WAY shows how to tap into the higher power that connects human creativity and the creative energies of the universe.”

--Mike Gossie, Scottsdale Tribune

 

“THE ARTISTS WAY is the seminal book on the subject of creativity and an invaluable guide to living the artistic life. Still as vital today—or perhaps even more so—than it was when it was first published in 1992, it is a provocative and inspiring work. Updated and expanded, it reframes THE ARTISTS WAY for a new century.”

--Branches of Light

 

“THE ARTISTS WAY has sold over 3 million copies since its publication in 1992. Cameron still teaches it because there is sustained demand for its thoughtful, spiritual approach to unblocking and nurturing creativity. It is, dare we say, timeless.”

--Nancy Colasurdo, FOXBusiness

Praise for VEIN OF GOLD, the second volume in the ARTISTS WAY trilogy

 

“For those seeking the wellspring of creativity, this book, like its predecessor, is a solid gold diving rod.”

--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Sheila Deeth , December 08, 2016 (view all comments by Sheila Deeth)
Julia Cameron’s classic, The Artist’s Way, combines a gently spiritual touch with a genuine understanding of human creativity—both our need to create and our frequent reluctance to commit. The author describes a “monk’s devotion to our work,” where “some … will be visited by visions and others will toil … knowing glory only at a distance,” offering practical and spiritual encouragement both together. Meanwhile the well-planned exercises she presents promote productivity and an ability to stop putting off what we long to do well. The text is nicely laid out with luxurious white space accompanied by intriguing side-bar quotations from poets, theologians and more, each well-chosen to complement the chapter’s message. A pleasing mix of personal anecdote and well-researched, well-practiced teaching makes the book an enjoyable and valuable read, even for readers unwilling or unready to commit to the workbook lessons. Commitment, of course, will offer more. But readers who feel they haven’t got time might find themselves encouraged to creatively find some. Disclosure: It was a gift from a treasured artistic friend.

I was in a very strange place in my life when I picked up the Artist's Way. I felt like something was missing. It was my creativity. Cameron breaks down ways to enhance your creative life no matter who you are or what you want to do. This isn't a book reserved for writers and painters. It applies to all of us. Creativity is missing from so much of our culture that it is easy to lose sight of its importance. This brilliant book brings it back into the light. Not only did I feel more creative after doing the excercises in this book, but my mind felt freer and I could think more clearly.

This is a life changing book....Julie Cameron has devoted her life to helping people develop their creativity, and she has succeeded. This book with "Morning Pages' and weekly check ins will dissolve lethargy and before you know it you will be creating rose gardens,or buying a sail boat,or flying to England, Austria,and Munich like I have. This is the single most influential book of my life.
