Cameron delivers an accessible, insightful addition to her The Artist’s Way workbooks with this take on how being a better listener can increase creativity。 She begins by describing three “basic tools” that should be incorporated into daily life: writing every morning, artist’s dates (“a solo expedition to do something that enchants or interests you”), and walking。 Other activities recommended include listening to the sounds in one’s home and environment, paying more attention in conversations with friends and family, and even tapping into messages from dead loved ones and personal heroes by simply addressing them in writing and asking questions。 Cameron’s illustrative musings about her own process are presented alongside interviews with artists, writers, and other creatives about the role that listening plays in their lives and crafts。 For instance, actress Jennifer Bassey compares attentive listening, the act of “reacting and responding,” to falling in love, and Cameron frequently laments the fact that when people talk over each other they “lose a valuable chance to learn。” Cameron’s fans will love this straightforward program。 (Jan。)

I previously took a Listening class in university, and that course changed my life for the better。 It helped me learn how to better myself in terms of communicating with others, helped me manage my emotions during conversations, and trained me to be a better, more open-minded listener to others。 I feel that most of what I learned in that course was touched upon in this nonfiction, so I only gained a few bits of new insight from this book, but, for those who have never taken a Listening course an I previously took a Listening class in university, and that course changed my life for the better。 It helped me learn how to better myself in terms of communicating with others, helped me manage my emotions during conversations, and trained me to be a better, more open-minded listener to others。 I feel that most of what I learned in that course was touched upon in this nonfiction, so I only gained a few bits of new insight from this book, but, for those who have never taken a Listening course and want to take the steps towards being a better listener, this nonfiction lays out some helpful tools to better your Listening skills。 。。。more

DNF at almost 45%。 Good points and habit encouraged; I just couldn't currently enjoy the pedanticness + melodrama。 DNF at almost 45%。 Good points and habit encouraged; I just couldn't currently enjoy the pedanticness + melodrama。 。。。more

Author Julia Cameron's books on nurturing creativity have been a staple for decades and have indeed become a cottage industry。 Rather than a "how to" on the arts, the books and other media in this series are more meditations on living life in a way that promotes artistic expression。 Cameron's advice is mostly practical (writing in the morning at the same time everyday, taking daily walks, treating yourself to a new experience each week, etc。) While this newest book emphasizes listening and inclu Author Julia Cameron's books on nurturing creativity have been a staple for decades and have indeed become a cottage industry。 Rather than a "how to" on the arts, the books and other media in this series are more meditations on living life in a way that promotes artistic expression。 Cameron's advice is mostly practical (writing in the morning at the same time everyday, taking daily walks, treating yourself to a new experience each week, etc。) While this newest book emphasizes listening and includes some new anecdotes from Cameron's life, I don't know that fans need to purchase this new entry into the Artist's Way series。 If you have read Cameron's other works, especially the seminal The Artist's Way, you are aware of much of the advice this book offers。Verdict: A potentially helpful read for those just discovering author Julia Cameron, but for others, pick this one up from your local public library。Full Disclosure--NetGalley and the publisher provided me with a digital ARC of this book。 This is my honest review。 。。。more

At times a revisiting of similar concepts presented in Cameron’s The Artist Way, I did find new insights and added value by taking a new approach to deeper listening。I would recommend this book to anyone who is currently on a journey of growing present moment awareness to your environment, to the relationships present in your life, and finally to that quieter, inner voice。
