Walking in this World (Highbridge Distribution) [Gekürzte Ausgabe, Audiobook] [Englisch] [Hörkassette]

In Walking in This World Julia Cameron offers a 12-week course crammed full of practical tips on how to rejuvenate the creative life. What happens when you get stuck and can't create? What should you do when you can't solve a problem or move into the next stage of goal achievement? Take a walk. Seriously. Cameron, who has already written successfully on the science of human creativity, suggests that a weekly walk helps to clear the mind, focus the energies and re-establish the priorities. Her advice is not just for artists, writers and musicians. Everyone has areas of life where creative problem solving is required. Cameron believes that getting in touch with the deep sources of inspiration will help us solve business problems, relationship problem and become more spiritual, whole and positive as individuals.

Along with the practical suggestions, on every page there are memorable quotes from creative people that support Cameron's point. While this book is practical and inspiring, like many self-help books, it is over-written and repetitious. Cameron's advice is excellent, but she could probably have made her points in half the space. Sometimes her own creativity errs on the side of cliché and sentimental excess, but despite these criticisms, Walking in This World points a way forward for those who are seeking a more meaningful, creative and spiritual way of life. --Dwight Longenecker -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Cameron--poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, composer, and guru to the creative masses--engenders as much adoration as scorn; she is the artsy equivalent to Martha Stewart (sans the investment investigation). Cameron broke new ground with The Artist's Way (1992), and now, two million copies later, she helps people improve their lives via a guided inquiry into their creative potential. This intermediate-level creative how-to uses her signature format and 12-week structure, which have worked so well for so many readers as they explore the often convoluted landscapes of their artistic psyches. To the catchphrases "Morning Pages" (her requisite three daily pages of longhand) and "Artist Date" (a weekly creative adventure)," now so well known they have entered a subculture vernacular, she adds another tool, "The Weekly Walk," an aid to walking in this world with a renewed sense of childlike wonder. This is yet another milestone for Cameron as she advances her mission to illuminate creativity as a spiritual path, a compelling vision embraced by people of diverse faiths and backgrounds worldwide.

Cameron had an international best seller with The Artist's Way, which outlined a program that encouraged the reader's innate creativity. Here she extends her discussion of the topic. Aimed at practicing artists-and she considers everyone from full-time pianists to part-time pie makers to be such-Cameron explains how creating a work, whether it's a novel or a nosegay, puts people deeply in touch with the Great Creator. Then, in the form of a 12-week program, she outlines steps and exercises to nourish the "artist within." Some of these ideas, such as the pages she recommends writing every morning, will be familiar to readers of her previous work. Others, which are meant to help readers discover traits such as dignity, authenticity, and discernment, are new. Given Cameron's obvious familiarity with, and fondness for, the artistic temperament, this book is essential for public libraries serving "arty" communities. Most other public libraries will want a copy as well, since Cameron's broad definition of creativity will resonate with many patrons.
