Prosperity/Right Livelihood Book
"Inspiring stories of how money affects people’s lives accompany
tools, exercises, and strategies for discovering the true meaning
of prosperity and abundance in this uplifting and beneficial
guide.”
—Publishers Weekly"Cameron (The Artist's Way) has written a book
addressed to our times, offering advice on how to begin to fulfill
one's dreams in times of recession or austerity.”—Library
Journal
"Many artistic and imaginative souls are troubled and often blocked
by money worries. They are unsure about the future and afraid to
take risks since they have no Plan B to put into action. In
response to this grave situation, Cameron speaks to the darkness
and the dread in creative people's hearts with an alternative: the
prosperous heart which recognizes "a spiritual bottom line, not a
fiscal one. Our faith, not our cash flow, is what brings to our
lives comfort and ease….The book is chock-full of other
down-to-earth material such as myths about money, trusting that we
live in a benevolent universe and that things will turn out okay,
clearing clutter away, finding community, and taking to heart the
spiritual virtues and practices of forgiveness, kindness,
generosity, and perseverance.”
—Spirituality & Practice
"From content to presentation, Cameron shines…How we handle our
money and lifestyles, and ultimately our very sense of happiness,
is based on how we handle our self-image, emotions and beliefs.
Trust, kindness, community, forgiveness (including for ourselves!)
generosity – and a plan to help us balance all of this - is ours to
study and live, in The Prosperous Heart.”
—Creations magazine
Praise for THE ARTIST'S WAY...
“THE ARTIST’S WAY by Julia Cameron is not exclusively about
writing—it is about discovering and developing the artist within
whether a painter, poet, screenwriter or musician—but it is a lot
about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative
dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints,
this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds
of paying-attention techniques; and that, after all, is what being
an artist is all about. It’s about learning to pay attention.”
--Anne Lamott, Mademoiselle
“The premise of the book is that creativity and spirituality are
the same thing, they come from the same place. And we were created
to use this life to express our individuality, and that over the
course of a lifetime that gets beaten out of us. [THE ARTIST’S WAY]
helped me put aside my fear and not worry about whether the record
would be commercial.”
--Grammy award-winning singer Kathy Mattea
“Julia Cameron brings creativity and spirituality together with the
same kind of step-by-step wisdom that Edgar Cayce encouraged. The
result is spiritual creativity as a consistent and nourishing part
of daily life.”
--Venture Inward
“I never knew I was a visual artist until I read Julia Cameron’s
THE ARTIST’S WAY.”
--Jannene Behl in Artist’s Magazine
“Julia Cameron’s landmark book THE ARTIST’S WAY helped me figure
out who I really was as an adult, not so much as an artist but as a
person. And award-winning journalist and poet, Cameron’s genius is
that she doesn’t tell readers what they should do to achieve or who
they should be—instead she creates a map for readers to start
exploring these questions themselves.”
--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine
“This is not a self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply
a powerful book that can challenge one to move into an entirely
different state of personal expression and growth.”
--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon
“THE ARTIST’S WAY (with its companion volume THE ARTIST’S WAY
MORNING PAGES JOURNAL) becomes a friend over time, not just a
journal. Like a journal, it provokes spontaneous insights and
solutions; beyond journaling, it establishes a process that is
interactive and dynamic.”
--Theresa L. Crenshaw, M.D., San Diego Union-Tribune
“If you really want to supercharge your writing, I recommend
that you get a copy of Julia Cameron’s book THE ARTIST’S WAY. I’m
not a big fan of self-help books, but this book has changed my life
for the better and restored my previously lagging creativity.”
--Jeffrey Bairstow, Laser Focus World
“Working with the principle that creative expression is the natural
direction of life, Cameron developed a three month program to
recover creativity. THE ARTIST’S WAY shows how to tap into the
higher power that connects human creativity and the creative
energies of the universe.”
--Mike Gossie, Scottsdale Tribune
“THE ARTIST’S WAY is the seminal book on the subject of creativity
and an invaluable guide to living the artistic life. Still as vital
today—or perhaps even more so—than it was when it was first
published in 1992, it is a provocative and inspiring work. Updated
and expanded, it reframes THE ARTIST’S WAY for a new century.”
--Branches of Light
“THE ARTIST’S WAY has sold over 3 million copies since its
publication in 1992. Cameron still teaches it because there is
sustained demand for its thoughtful, spiritual approach to
unblocking and nurturing creativity. It is, dare we say,
timeless.”
--Nancy Colasurdo, FOXBusiness
Praise for VEIN OF GOLD, the second volume in the ARTIST’S WAY
trilogy
“For those seeking the wellspring of creativity, this book, like
its predecessor, is a solid gold diving rod.”
--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
