Artist’s Way
Author: Julia Cameron
This is my favorite from Julia Cameron. Thirteen years ago this book jump-started my creativity in ways that still inspire my writing. I think this is a must for artists of any kind who want to explore their creativity at deeper levels. |

Robert Louis Stevenson: Dreams of Exile
Author: Ian Bell
My favorite biography of a writer who defied convention. The inspiring story of how he wrote the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is worth the cost of the book alone. |

Crossing the Unknown Sea
Author: David Whyte
David Whyte’s prose is like his poetry – deep, beautiful, honest, and engaging. This is his personal story of finding his life’s work that brings meaning and how others can do the same. |

Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life
Author: Gregg Michael Levoy
This is my most tattered book ever. Levoy has stories of people who have made life-changing leaps to follow their passions. This book and The Artist’s Way are the two books I’ve given as gifts more times than I can remember. |

A Woman’s Path
Authors: Lucy McCauley, Amy Greimann Carlson

Writing the Mind Alive
Authors: Linda Trichter Metcalf, Simon Tobin
This book and the writing techniques it details should have much more recognition than it has. I found the book by accident a couple years ago and use the technique five days a week. I don’t want you to wait as long as I did for this different and very deep writing experience. |
