For decades, Julia Cameron has been the authority on creative life, honing her craft and bringing her tools to millions of readers around the world. Together, these tools - Morning Pages, Artist Dates, Walks, and Guidance - have transformed lives. And for the first time, they are presented together with the most commonly asked questions that Julia's readers have asked over the years. Julia does a deep, yet succinct, dive into each tool, demonstrating how they set us firmly and gently on the path to self-love and creative nourishment. Indeed they are tools to live by. Through the learned experience of a lifetime of writing and teaching creative recovery, Julia once again delivers inspiring stories and invaluable tools-now in a beautifully-packaged handbook format, perfect for gifting (or even just treating yourself).
