Synopsis"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., "I'm not very creative!" or "I'm not creative enough!" are common refrains in today's society, but according to author and creative guide Jacob Nordby, nothing could be further from the truth. Creativity, Nordby argues, is actually akin to the sap in a tree or the blood in our veins-it's present in all of us and meant to flow unhindered through every facet of our lives. Whenever we feel stuck or stagnant, creativity is the key to revitalization and renewal; as well as a source of profound healing. Yet many remain unaware of the full potential of this wellspring within us. This book is an invitation to heal the vital connection to your inner creative self-and, in the process, begin to mend other areas of your life that need healing. Clear, vulnerable, and transformative, this book can help you see yourself and the world through different eyes. Book jacket.
