Beschreibung
Creativity is our true magic. The ability to convert our thoughts into reality is a defining characteristic of being human. But it can also be hard work - especially in a culture that values conformity, trends, and marketability above authentic expression. For anyone who has hit a creative wall and wants to reignite their imagination and passion, author and poet James McCrae's The Art of You is a powerful resource to help you access your inner magic and spark your joy in creativity.
The Art of You helps you dissolve blockages and jump-start your imagination through the Yin-Yang approach. "We've been taught to focus on the Yang, which is about drive and effort," says McCrae. "But we do so at the expense of the Yin: allowing, expansiveness, and flow." Here he shares a flexible set of tools, exercises, rituals, and insights to help you address the most common impediments to the creative process - and awaken your sense of wonder, your childlike curiosity, and your ability to create something uniquely you out of nothing.
Creativity is essential to everything we do - there is art not only in what we write, paint, dance, and sing, but also in the way we navigate our relationships, our work, and our choices in life. "Art matters," says McCrae. "Art gives us comfort, opens our minds to new perspectives, and leaves us awestruck. Art is medicine - for ourselves, others, and the world."
