Review

I consider myself to be fairly creative but I am always looking to improve and find out how to carry on when you lose your mojo. Whether you are in a similar position or looking to actually begin to be creative you will find a lot of helpful advice in this book.

The book is divided into chapters covering seven habits. If like me you have read self help books in the past this might sound familiar, but they only have in common the words "seven" and "habits" this is a totally different take on the wording. Covering amongst other subjects Fears and Blocks, Journaling and even your breathing and taking a nap. There's even a mention of Coronavirus bringing this work right up to date. 

I learnt quite a few things that I haven't found in my reading in this area before. Such as the brain has five different brainwave states. Whilst you might not need to know the science behind it, Susie then takes us through how this affects our thinking at different times of the day. She also goes on to how to boost those brainwaves to achieve a higher state of creativity.

This is definitely a book to dip back into and remind yourself of the tips and techniques and all round good advice. There's also useful blank pages to jot down thoughts and ideas to put into practice the exercises in the book. Whilst this book isn't going to make you into the next Da Vinci it's certainly food for thought, and has many ways to look at not only creativity but your life differently too.

I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. My thanks to Random Things Tours for a copy of the book to review.
