The Big Magic. Creative Living Beyond Fear

Elizabeth Gilbert—the author of the global bestsellers "Eat, Pray, Love" and "The Signature of All Things"—tells with unbridled energy and refined humor how to learn to live creatively and enjoy it. She is convinced that creativity is a gift, and it is up to us whether we use it. But don't expect practical advice here, such as how to build a brilliant career in the field of art. After all, the writer believes that we are all creative people, so she seeks answers to questions that concern everyone.

What is a calling?.. Must a true artist suffer?.. Why shouldn't you turn creativity into a profession?.. How not to dwell on failures?.. Where do ideas escape?.. Why is curiosity more important than passion?.. What is the reason it's sometimes so hard to get along with inspiration?.. And all this—in witty stories about self-discovery and tales about the lives of celebrities. So open this fascinating book—it will undoubtedly become one of your favorites!
