The Creative Cure
The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life | Jacob Nordby
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
“I’m just not that creative” is a common refrain in today’s society. But according to author and creative coach Jacob Nordby, nothing could be further from the truth. Every human being is creative, and having a regular creative practice is a vital key to a happy and fulfilling life. If we don't exercise our creativity regularly, our lives can feel dull, stagnant, and rote. Many people live this way and believe “this is just the way life is,” without realizing that developing a regular creative practice can be the cure to what ails them. Nordby knows this all too well. By the time he reached his midthirties, he was running a successful mortgage company and lived in a big house with fancy cars. But he felt like he was dying inside. Starting and maintaining a creative practice is what saved his life. Now, in this powerful book, he explains how he traded in his stagnant way of life for one full of meaning and purpose, and offers specific steps to help you build your own creative practice. The Creative Cure is a call for a revolution, fostering change where all change must begin: within. This internal change will allow you to express your own creative gifts, cultivate happiness, and experience the unique feeling of fulfillment that only a creative practice can offer. Packed with powerful, transformative exercises, this book is the medicine you need to find and reinvigorate your creative soul.

It's ok, but not what I thought I was getting. I'd subtitle it "creating a more joyful life through longform journalling and the law of attraction". For those who a) don't consider themselves creative and b) haven't already done a shed-load of soul searching, it's a friendly hand to hold. For those who prefer a clear structure, or generally more to get their teeth into, I'd recommend The Artist's Way instead, which indeed JN frequently refers to.
