“Maisel consistently challenges the artist to be true to his/her artistic self in all his books, and this is no exception. The Creativity Book targets the artist who has achieved a higher degree of self-knowledge and acceptance. He asks the reader to choose a Dream early in the year, which will be accomplished as the year unfolds. Each week highlights an aspect of living as a creative being, and includes exercises to clear the way to living more fully.
“Maisel has a no-holds-barred style that doesn’t permit excuses, whining, or hedging. His message is simple: one must actively pursue the muse at all times, and embrace her when she appears. You don’t HAVE to do any of the exercises, although he’d like you to do them all. He makes it clear, however, that choosing not to do the exercises is also a clear statement of your degree of commitment to your Dream, which ultimately boils down to art.
“If you’re looking for coddling, this is the wrong book. But if you’re ready to be gently but firmly led to create as you know you can, Maisel leaves you with a fuller, more satisfying relationship with your artistic self.” – M. Smith
