This has to be my new favorite book on creating. It is not fluffy, flowery or psychological, but the nuts and bolts of creating authenticity through hard work, careful observation and manifesting your own personal truth. Very easy to get sidelined in this crazy world, but this book offers lots of ideas to get back on track. Highly recommended.
