The first two sections of this book were fantastic: well written, entertaining and eye opening. I feel ready to tackle my fear and pursue my passion. The last chapter was far too philosophical for me, though. It undermined the cold, sensible, irrefutable logic of the first two sections with religious concepts and musings that actually left me feeling less motivated. A real shame as the rest of the book was truly brilliant!

The book is filled with brief 1 to 3 page arguments about creativity and how we undermine ourselves creatively. The book then goes on to be inspirational about how we can break through this self subterfuge. Since it's "chapters" are so short it's something that's great to open to any page and find something to get you going for the day. I will definitely crack this open from time to time to find inspiration. The thing I don't like is the inclusion of the author's spiritual beliefs into the later pages.

I enjoyed this book a lot. This was a non-fiction motivational read for me and it'll stick with me for life. There's a large aspect of working for the sake of working which was a put off and was confused with the work of creation hence four stars. Another motivational book in fiction form (as apposed to this philosophical book) is "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach
