I am going to update my review to the second time I read it. The first time I read it, last year, it did it all in one sitting. It was very helpful for me, but I decided, after a huge shift and a huge block, that I was going to go thru it week by week.

I can't believe I finished, actually. I'm proud that I did. And I do believe that it was helpful for me. I am still blocked, or at least it feels like I am, but I am very clear on what's keeping me from getting creative, and I am definitely in a much higher place than I was when I started the book.

There are so many good habits I've learned from this book. The morning pages being one. And the series of questions during a state of anxiety being the other. I also liked one of the most poignant questions that the book has, which was, "What are the payoffs of not being your creative self?" I think that was something that kept me motivated with going.

I'm reading a lot of self-help books lately that include mentions of religion and God. I'm not really traumatized by religion, so I can stand to ignore or contextualize these parts however I like. However, if you tend to feel unease when people tell you to trust your creator or speak about God... you may not like this book as much as I do.
