by Elizabeth Gilbert
DNF @ 61%I tried, for 61% I tried. I found a couple quotes from other people that I highlighted but that was it. I never highlighted anything the author wrote. I had to ask myself why am I reading a book where the authors advice is not connecting with me ? Why wasn't it working, several reasons. One...
Hello everyone and how's it going? Me, I'm doing pretty good, just enjoying the summer weather! Well, I'm going to straight to it and say that yes another review. No, not a Chronicle one. This is "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Elizabeth has become one of my favorite authors. Even though I have ...
A creative living guide to life by following your happiness. This is definitely a self-help book. It was written for perfectionists and anxiety driven people like me and a reality check for everybody else on how to accomplish anything and everything in life. Yes, there is no earth shattering advise ...
Inizio: 2 maggioFinito: 4 maggioVoto: 5/5Consigliato: Assolutamente si <3Non pensavo di apprezzarlo, ero già pronta a lanciare l'ereader fuori dalla porta come spesso mi capita con certi "saggi/libri di auto aiuto" e invece mi ha stupito. Non è uno di quei banali libretti con consigli idioti e non a...
Big Magic is a self-supporting book regarding creativity, and is aimed at writers and artists, but it's also, for anyone who wants to inject some creative magic into their every day lives. The questions Gilbert proposes are simple ones: What are you curious about? And what would you keep doing, even...
Okay it wasn't bad. Some parts lagged more than others, but ultimately there was some good advice in here. Took me way too long to read though...
Now a lot of it is pretty obvious and nothing new and she does name-drop a bit, but she is famous and does know these people and can name drop. The podcast is a good accompaniment to this. This affirmed for me that I need to do creative stuff for me as well as sometimes letting that creative stuff...
I am the first to admit that this book took me way too long to finish. It wasn't because it isn't any good (it's amazing) but because life/uni gets in the way and makes reading for pleasure a thousand times harder and a thousand times more riddled with guilt. Yes, I will admit it. I loved Eat, Pra...
One of those books about a bitch who could delude herself and get rich. Well, she did. But that's not because she is any special or talented. No. It is kind of crap to think bitch like this got success while a lot of good talented persons didn't even have a chance. That's life. It is unfair, and i...
Is it mere coincidence that BIG is synonymous with FAT and that MAGIC is one of those oblique words difficult to put your finger on, like CHANCE? Because I think that's a better title for this book: Fat Chance. That's the message here: you're gonna fail, you big loser! Where's the big magic in that?...
