I am pretty creative these days, but I didn’t get here overnight.
I started out, way back in the day, reading awesome books by highly creative artists and authors.
Here’s the beginning of a new list for my site on “The Best Creativity Books Ever.”
These are from my shelf. Feel free to chime in with your favorites in the comments!
I am focusing here on raw creativity or creativity in the raw, as opposed to polished or entrepreneurial creativity (we’ll get to these later).
Here are my top creativity books so far:
Everything by Julia Cameron LINK
Everything by SARK LINK
Everything by Eric Maisel LINK
Everything by Keri Smith LINK
The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp LINK
Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott LINK
Writing Down The Bones by Natalie Goldberg LINK
The Writer’s Workout by Christina Katz LINK
Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain LINK
Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon LINK
The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield LINK

I just bought “The Artists Way” last week. I can’t wait to read it.
Happy to say I have several of these. I’ll check out the others. I especially like Maisel’s The Writer’s Paris. You don’t have to go to Paris to get something out of it.
I love that you said “everything” by Julia Cameron. I have adored her for years. I cannot wait to check out some of the others that I am not familiar with.
Great choices, Christina!
Thanks, Mary! 🙂
