Big Magic

Book • 2016
In 'Big Magic', Elizabeth Gilbert delves into the mysteries of creativity, encouraging readers to live more creative and fulfilling lives.

The book is divided into six parts: Courage, Enchantment, Permission, Persistence, Trust, and Divinity.

Gilbert argues that creativity is an essential part of human nature and that it requires courage to accept and overcome fears.

She emphasizes the importance of persistence, trust in the creative process, and the need to separate creativity from the pressure of making a living.

Through personal anecdotes and insights from other artists, Gilbert demystifies the creative process and inspires readers to pursue their passions with curiosity rather than fear.
