SPARKshelf: Big Magic By Elizabeth Gilbert

SPARKshelf: Bringing you our favourite must-read business and personal development books by female authors (of course!).

This book describes the most beautiful concept. That an idea is a living entity, bestowed on you… and if you don’t pursue it, it will move on to someone else. I love it because it showed me a way of thinking about creativity in a new way.

• Embraces creativity with courage – Encourages overcoming fear to live a creative life.

• Ideas as living entities – Proposes that inspiration seeks out willing collaborators.

• Rejects perfectionism – Advocates for creating without self-doubt or the need for perfection.

• Passion vs. curiosity – Suggests following curiosity over waiting for a singular passion.

• Permission to create – Encourages making art for joy, not just for success or validation.
