Publisher Description

The instant #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller "A must read for anyone hoping to live a creative life... I dare you not to be inspired to be brave, to be free, and to be curious.” —PopSugar From the worldwide bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and City of Girls: the path to the vibrant, fulfilling life you’ve dreamed of.   Readers of all ages and walks of life have drawn inspiration and empowerment from Elizabeth Gilbert’s books for years. Now this beloved author digs deep into her own generative process to share her wisdom and unique perspective about creativity. With profound empathy and radiant generosity, she offers potent insights into the mysterious nature of inspiration. She asks us to embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. She shows us how to tackle what we most love, and how to face down what we most fear. She discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits we need in order to live our most creative lives. Balancing between soulful spirituality and cheerful pragmatism, Gilbert encourages us to uncover the “strange jewels” that are hidden within each of us. Whether we are looking to write a book, make art, find new ways to address challenges in our work,  embark on a dream long deferred, or simply infuse our everyday lives with more mindfulness and passion, Big Magic cracks open a world of wonder and joy.

"I really liked Elizabeth's book overall. There were a few chapters where I was thinking, "ok, that is your opinion and interpretation. I don't feel the same way". However, I think she has really good takes on what it means to co-create and manifest. I especially loved the chapter where she speaks on fear being in the backseat of every "road trip" you take. You have to read the book to get what I'm saying. All in all, this was a great audiobook to listen to on my long commutes. I recommend to anyone interested in discovering and living their dreams."

    " I very much enjoyed listening to Elizabeth Gilbert, her thoughts on inspiration are refreshing, down to earth and, yes, inspiring ; ), even for someone who has been "at it" for a while. It concentrates more on the subject of writing, but I can translate her thoughts for visual work. I especially like her voice too, a criteria I take more and more into consideration before purchasing an audiobook. "

    " Been a fan of Liz Gilbert since I discovered her, like most of the world, with Eat Pray Love...The book touched me, as did this one. Starting on my own newly discovered path of creativeness, unexplored in the past, her words ring true. I do not write, I have discovered other crafting talents, and Liz's words and advice were encouraging and very conforting! Definitely a good listen if you have a little idea in the back of your head that you have been ignoring, for whatever reason...most helpful!! "
