Publisher Description
Big Magic er en selvhjælpsbog om kreativitet. Noget som mange ønsker sig at have, uden helt at vide, hvad det er, eller hvordan de kan blive det. I et enkelt og ligefremt sprog fortæller Elizabeth Gilbert, hvordan du kan få et mere kreativt liv - uanset om du allerede er skabende kunstner, drømmer om at blive det eller bare gerne vil være lidt mere kreativ i din dagligdag.
Nøgleordene er at blive ved at være nysgerrig på verden, at være disciplineret og gøre sig umage med sin arbejdsindsats; at droppe forestillinger om perfektion og forventninger om succes. Og ikke mindst at turde overgive sig til at være kreativ og skabe noget primært for sin egen skyld.
Big Magic er en uhøjtidelig og konkret bog til dig, der gerne vil leve et mere kreativt liv, uanset hvad du arbejder med, eller hvor dygtig du er. Måske bliver du ikke en stor, anerkendt kunstner, men bogen vil med sikkerhed vise dig vejen til et sjovere og mere indholdsrigt liv.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Gilbert (The Signature of All Things) offers an empathetic and inspiring guide to mustering the courage to live a creative life. That doesn't necessarily mean a career in the arts, she's quick to point out ("If you're alive, you're a creative person," she states); instead, she proposes a life fueled by curiosity rather than fear. Gilbert, more than most, can understand how a big success can make one feel as if the follow-up must not disappoint, writing that "I can't tell you how many people said to me during those years , How are you ever going to top that?' " She notes that this kind of pressure can be an instant creativity killer and encourages readers to let go of perfectionism and embrace being good enough. This mind-set, in her experience, leads to the willingness to take chances, live life to the fullest, and act on risky ideas. Gilbert divides her book into six sections, each devoted to a quality she believes necessary for living without fear: courage, enchantment, permission, persistence, trust, and divinity. In each section, Gilbert peppers sound advice with personal triumphs and failures. Nearly anyone who picks up this self-help manual should finish it feeling inspired, even if only to dream of a life without limits.
