Wild Creative: Igniting Your Passion and Potential in Work, Home, and Life (2)

by Tami Lynn Kent

Realign yourself with the creative currents that flow deep within, and you’ll see your work and home life transformed and inspired by this completely new understanding of creativity.

At its root, creativity is the practice of engagement; it’s the marriage of feminine and masculine energy. By restoring that creative energy—and thus seeking our dreams—we can realign ourselves with an ancient, limitless presence, and reawaken the wild creative within.

In Wild Creative, Tami Lynn Kent shows you how to tap into your creative center and access the natural, sustaining energy that is inherently yours. In doing so, you’ll embark on a journey to achieve your dreams and restore your inner creative map. In addition, you’ll discover that when creativity and inspiration take center stage in your life, miracles both large and small unfold.

Not only does Kent offer a wellspring of valuable insights, she also details her own experience building a framework of creativity that has served the well-being of herself, her family, and her business. Wild Creative shows how, by following the creative source within each of us, we can nourish a vibrant and successful life.

Wild Creative is driven by the idea that we are all inherently creative. Tami Lynn Kent couples creativity with spirituality and mythology and the product is a holistic understanding of the creative energy that flows in us all. Kent lays out a practical and informative guide attuning with your creative rhythms and unblocking creative flow. What's better is that Wild Creative is not just a guide or a hodgepodge of inspirational ideas. Rather, it is a book that readers can return to time and time again and each time find something new, a new way to look at the world or the self, a new way to release creative energy and harness its power. This book is designed to be a friend to the artist in us all.

No surprise at all to anyone who has read a book by Tami Kent, this book is wonderful. In a few words: inspiring, liberating, encouraging, and of course creative. Overall, I think this book inspires the feeling of freeness. Is there any greater feeling? As always, so much wisdom from Tami, this time for men and women. This book has so many actionable meditations and tools that could help anyone of any age, and as I continue to explore these lessons in my daily life, I plan to teach them to my children as well. I’ve had this book on my list for a long time, but I choose to read things when I feel inspired to do so, and this one I could not have read at a more ideal time. My husband found this book inspiring as well, and it has factilitatied so much growth for each of us in our creative endeavors. If you’re feeling stuck, inspired but not sure of direction, or unsatisfied or lost creatively, this is the book. Pick it up.

A beautifully written book about living a richly creative lifestyle+ breaking free from the conventional, linear modes of productivity. This book came at the right time for me and I am so happy that I found it. This book also articulates and captures what I've always believed and thought about creativity: creativity is not just an manifestation of artistic talent or innovation--it is intrinsically linked to the expressions of our spirit. In order to cultivate an authentic life-style that feeds the soul in delicious and vivid ways, we must be in tune with our creative expressions by engaging our sense of self in an honest and open way and expressing it in our actions and creations. Awesome, aweosme brilliant book. Beautiful language. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

By tapping into the creative center you will sustain energy, this is a dream of a book because you read how the author has found the a ability to read energetic patterns of the body., How she has awakened the creative soul. Its about being able to tune into your inner abundance and soul.

I have always followed the creative path, and been drawn to painting and anything to do with gardening, and cooking. l spend my day looking at things and imagine painting them, or l se a bare patch somewhere and imagine what plants l would grow in that place. The masculine and feminine of creativity is very interesting, l have fead about this before, but it is good to have a refresh. This book reinforces the importance of the creative side of our personalities, and how important it is to nurture it in our work place and our hobbies and lives. Their are always more creative solutions to problem solving than we think. Using our imaginative and creative side often gives us a far better solution that our logical thinking brain would.

It's not just that I loved this book (which I did). It's that this book is one of those rare gems that provides powerful and life-changing insight into the human spirit. This book is essential for anyone who wants to live a spirit-filled, meaningful, purposeful, and creative existence. I highly recommend it!

This was really thought-provoking but I'm left wondering how to implement and act on the information.

[Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like her wild creative let the book be wild, which was hard to follow. It felt not very well organized which made it hard to want to complete. It had many good reminders of things many creatives already know or experience but lacked a kind of structure or explanation of structure that I’m seeking to organize my time as a creative who seeks wildness, flow, and also has to go to a day to day job. Basically there’s not a lot about time management. Just a lot of opinions. And it felt like she must have a lot of time for this, which I don’t seem to have. This made it somewhat hard to relate to.

It was interesting, and inspiring, but a bit reppetitive... the sae idea seemed to be repeated over and over, and lost its magic after a while. As a much smller book it would have been perfect.

Still, interesting theory for creative ladies!

I couldn't get all the way through it because I get too annoyed by gender essentialism, and frankly the whole masculine/feminine energy thing doesn't sit very well with me. But I did find some of the exercises useful, so I appreciated that.

[N.L. Riviezzo · Rating 1 out of 5]

I found this book to be extremely repetitive, and the writing style was agitating to read - sentence structure, word choice, and general phrasing were very odd. I did not gain anything for reading this rather dull book.
