I was expecting this book to be written in a similar style/format to other personal development books I've read but it's pretty much an autobiography.

I bought this book after reading Cleo Wade's other book, Remember Love. 

The best way for me to describe this book is that it is a warm and soothing hug. A hug that I will seek out over and over again, whether in good times or hard times.

Thank you Cleo Wade for this gem. It truly blessed my soul.

After reading "Rest is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey at the beginning of this year, I find that "Imagination: A Manifesto" is a great complement to that book. Gread read and will definitely read it over and over again.

This was a quick read but a very informative book. I've been thinking about integrating sensory appraches in my artmaking and this book was a good introduction for doing so. A great addition to my growing art library.

I really enjoyed to the audiobook version of this book. As I enter the entrepreneurship space and start my own business, I learned a lot of good business tips and strategies from this book.

The only thing I didn't like was the "Create a Cult Mentality" chapter and the reference to Jim Jones. I understood what Steven was saying in throughout this chapter but I honestly believe that this chapter would have been as impactful, without this reference.
