What is this book about?
Creativity is core to what it means to be fully alive. We know being creative reduces stress, helps our brain think more flexibly, and makes the world better for everyone around us.
But it can also be vulnerable. We can doubt our instincts. We can get mental blocks. The pressures of life can stunt our sense of playfulness, imagination, and possibility.
30 Days to Rediscover Your Creativity is designed for both seasoned artists and the creatively curious. The guide will (re)introduce you to your inner creative self. You will learn its longings, uncover its gifts, face its demons, and allow it to surprise you. You will receive guided experiences, creative prompts, invitations to play, and concrete structure for working through a multi-day creative project.
Writer and narrator Sharon Mashihi is an award-winning artist. But she does not tell us how to be creative. She accompanies us. Brilliantly using the making of this guide as her case study, Mashihi takes us with her as she plunges the depths of her own inner psyche, finds tons of weird stuff in there, and invites us to do the same.
