Big Magic

In Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert explores the mysterious and wonderful nature of creative work. Drawing upon her own experiences as a writer, Gilbert invites readers to examine how ideas visit us, how inspiration moves, and how unhelpful habits and anxieties can hold us back from doing what we love.

Gilbert discusses the mindsets and attitudes necessary to pursue creative pursuits with confidence and joy. Rather than viewing the creative path as a struggle filled with suffering, she encourages a spirit of curiosity, courage, and lighthearted devotion. Readers are shown how to confront self-doubt and fear so they can bring their talents into the open.

This book is suited to artists, writers, makers, and anyone seeking to live a more inspired and mindful life. Whether you want to begin a deferred artistic ambition or simply bring fresh energy to your daily duties, Gilbert provides warm, practical encouragement.
