Whether an accountant or a writer, you are an artist whether you realize it or not. You create your life in each passing moment. The question is, are you creating with conscious intention or creating by default? Creativity is our true magic. To be alive is to be in a state of co-creation with the universe.

Creative thinking can be applied to every area of your life, from business to relationships to social media content.- In a world of increasing uncertainty, creativity is more important than ever. The old social norms are rapidly shifting. Creativity helps us navigate the unknown and shape a better future.
- Creativity is an equal balance of yin (being) and yang (doing). This book unlocks the full spectrum of the creative process, from cultivating intuition to launching projects, providing rituals and practices for each stage of the process.
- Expression is healing. It's not only about being good at creativity. It's about creativity being good for you.
- Creativity in the age of social media and AI. Learn how to be an artist in an increasingly digital world. "Art matters," says McCrae. "Art gives us comfort, opens our minds to new perspectives, and leaves us awestruck. Art is medicine--for ourselves, others, and the world." Here is an indispensable resource to awaken the creative power of your soul--whether you're a writer, painter, dancer, singer, or someone who wants to express your unique truth in work, life, and love.
