Ich habe nur wenige der vorgeschlagenen „kreativen Übungen“ gemacht, aber es ist auch nicht meine Absicht Künstler zu werden. Die Texte sind inspirierend, viel mehr braucht es für mich nicht.

[Cheryl]

One I'd like to own. Tons of inspiration.

[Kristine]

I loved this book !!! ***** I read Pam's Art & Soul years ago at work & here I am reading this one so many years later. It is just as good, if not better! I love her wit, enthusiasm for life and for being creative!

[Vivian Adram]

Took every bit in. Still taking action on the tasks and exercises. Its a GREAT book!

[Christine Heron]

This book needs to be savored like a really good cup of coffee. So many great ideas to get motivated. This book begs to be owned!! My copy came from the library so I can’t keep it!

[Shubhangi Raheja]

This is my bible. I keep on coming back to it.

[Sara Miller]

Fascinating little book. Working in the art world Ms being a writer, this book shed light on some of the stumbling blocks artists face. Quick read with some fun ideas!

[Marianne Mullen]

It took me almost a year to read this book and that is because I took a chapter at a time for inspiration. Lots here and I enjoyed her writing and style. Great for someone needing a kick in the pants, a new perspective about creativity, or simply ideas for jumpstarting yourself.

Az egész könyv olyan, mintha pici akupunktúrás tűkkel szúrkálnának. Meleged lesz, aztán rohanni akarsz. Csinálni – bármit. Minden fejezet után egyre nagyobb a késztetés, hogy felugorj, hogy csinálj valamit, akármit – vagy fejezd be már végre azt az átkozott könyvet ami fél éve az utolsó 3 fejezetére vár!
Szóval, ellentétben Varga Bea szabályokat soroló könyvével, Pam Grout inkább a lelkesítésre helyezi a hangsúlyt, ihletet ad és bátorságot, hogy elkezdj végre alkotni, hogy észrevedd az élet szépségeit és elgondolkozz az értelmén. Nem az elismertség, hanem maga a művészi folyamat a lényeg szerinte. Annak ellenére, hogy rengeteg ismert, híres ember példáját hozza, akik hátrányos helyzetből indultak vagy akadályokkal szembesültek. Igy láthatjuk, hogy milyen jó társaságban vagyunk, hisz ők is kínlódnak, küszködnek a művészetükkel, De ezzel példát is mutatnak nekünk, hogy mindenki tud alkotni, nemcsak azok akiknek papírjuk van róla. Lehet, hogy kicsit túltolja az optimizmust, de kell is, hiszen az elején minden ilyen dolog rohadt lelkesítő és felvillanyozó, de mikor már a kitartásról van szó, hát…. Ezért is van minden fejezet végén 3 bolondos kihívás-ötlet amit megvalósíthatsz, ill. feladatok is, hogy feje tetejére állítsd a gondolkodásod. Szóval ha elszáll az ihletünk vagy csak megtorpanunk, vagy túl fáradtak vagyunk, hogy kicsiholjunk magunkból bármit is, csak vegyük elő ezt a könyvet és mindjárt egy csomó inspirációnk támad. Én ennek érdekében tele post-it-eztem a lapokat (persze csakis kékkel és rózsaszínnel, hogy illeszkedjen a borítóhoz! :) )

Borító 5*

NB. Elvileg a könyv úgy épül fel, hogy egy évnyi tartalmú, azaz 52 hétre van egy-egy fejezet minden hétre – de akkor se bánod meg, ha egyszuszra elolvasod. Trust me!

[Isabella May]

Absolutely brilliant!
If you are a writer, a poet, a cake baker, a musician - an artist of ANY kind, this is the Bible to run to every time you feel like your work is a pile of poo/who are you to think you're the next J.K. Rowling or Stephen King, Picasso or Madonna?
It's also piled high with inspirational quotes and reminders that you are good enough, damn it!
Whether you do the weekly creativity tasks or not (I was naughty and didn't sorry, Pam! - but just read it through in one go), you cannot fail to be moved by this book. It's such a game changer for doubting your talent and abilities

[Jo]

I was hoping for a book that was deeply profound. Instead I found a book that was shallow and full of the usual new age gibberish. There are much better books out there on creativity. Anything not published by Hay House will be a good place to start. Very disappointed with this book.

[Barbara Caballero]

Bringing More Joy

What a fun book. The muse whispers and we actually hear her and say yes. We do this with others and are all lifted. We feel heard, our deepest needs fulfilled. Thank you Pam.

[Chels]

I think this book is great but definitely not what I was looking for. I think I want something similar but more writing focused. I love the idea of weekly little pages and things to do, but I just didn't quite jive with this book. Maybe sometime in the future.

[Tracey Sinclair]

A light hearted look at how to kick start your creativity and get out of your own way. Worth reading even if you have no intention of doing the exercises.

[Terri]

Great pep talk. Just what I needed.

Art and Soul, Reloaded https://soylector32749967.wordpress.c...

[Olwen]

Another great Pam Grout read that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside - and inspired too!

[Kinner n Sacchdev]

Pam is the spiritual guru that can set every creator free....super brilliant and stupid (the positive kind) ideas!

[Melodie Grabner]

Art & Soul

Enjoyable (fun ideas) read, a little too flippant for me.
I am still a Cameron fan. This is not a keeper.

[Susan]

As the book cover proclaims, this is a book to help you summon the muses and reclaim "... your bold, audacious, creative side." I have read the text, now it's time to try the "zumba for the soul" ideas.

"The mighty river of God flows through your soul, the infinite power of the universe pulses in your heart."

"The very act of creating is an act of power, an act of hope. .... we, as humans, as co-creators with the universe, have immense power to change things."

[Maurya]

I'm not a big creative - and in theory this should be a year long read - which may make it really good for some. For me it was just ok. But I like Pam Grout's writing and thinking a lot, and so wanted to see what it was all about.

[Anna-Karin Björklund]

Full of inspiration and golden nuggets for super charging your creativity!

[Christine Leiser]

Really lovely ideas!

[Mary]

This book did not resonate with me. Too bold and extroverted for my tastes. I did appreciate all the stories of successful artists who doubted themselves.

[LemontreeLime]

This was great, full of excellent thought provoking ideas.

[Mana]

Fifty-two weeks of scheduled play sounds like a corporate retreat gone wrong. Something cooked up by HR to force grown adults into awkward vulnerability. Pam Grout strips the heavy, suffocating drama right off the artistic process, turning it into something messy and simple. People sit around waiting for some magic lightning bolt while their bills pile up on the counter. She treats making things like a basic body requirement instead. Like drinking water, or complaining about local traffic.

The book relies on pure, relentless momentum. It batters through your cynical defenses with short weekly prompts that refuse to act important. You move past your own mental roadblocks fast, even if the non-stop cheerful tone feels like a peppy gym teacher shouting at you before sunrise. Long, sprawling thoughts about adult fear get slapped down by abrupt, two-word sentences. It works. The rapid cadence keeps you from sinking into self-pity.

You will like this if you are stuck in a mental rut, exhausted by work demands, and need a shove to start making useless stuff again. Skip it if you want formal fine art lessons, heavy theory, or if high-voltage optimism gives you a headache.

[Alex Ankarr]

Ugh. Horrible person.
