The Cut
Fascinating (and fun) ... Three times in the last decade I've committed to doing The Artist's Way's program, and each time I've learned something important and surprising about myself and my work ... Without The Artist's Way, there would have been no Eat, Pray, Love

Daily Telegraph
I found my way to writing to an artist workbook called The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron ... Being introduced to that book, over 20 years ago, really changed my life. I still do [the morning pages] every day; it gets everything out - right at the top of the day. All the anxiety, all the fear, all the mess - it comes out and then it cracks open and leads you to wherever it is that you're supposed to be inside your creativity. I never wrote until I started The Artist's Way, so I would say: Start there
Billy Porter So inspiring
Reese Witherspoon I picked this book up for the first time when I was twenty-one years old. It completely changed my life. I did it again ten years ago and the impact was again life-altering. Something in my soul was stirring me to come back to it. So ... here we go ... I'm excited to meet myself on this path again
Kerry Washington It's for any blocked artist ... a year into making the album, I had all this incredible material, it was flowing but then it stopped. Going to the studio was too much pressure. I read a book called The Artist's Way [and] that's how I got back to writing.

Ed O'Brien The book that made a real impact on me is The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. My friend [actress and comedian] Sophie Willan recommended it to me years ago, and I still have it on my desk. It enables anyone to tap into their creative self regardless of themselves - we often get in our own way when trying to achieve. Want to write that novel? That play? This is the book.

Cameron's morning pages have shaped the lives of millions of others
Elle Hunt
The Guardian
I've must have read thousands of books, but the one that changed my life is without a doubt The Artist's Way. I am constantly recommending it to my friends and to anyone who is going through a tough time or feels creatively blocked. I have learned so much about myself and what blocks me in my creativity, and even in my daily life, by reading this book. The Artist's Way helped me recover my sense of identity, and gave me a sense of the possibility of what I could achieve for myself ... for me it was a lifesaver
Patricia Gibney, author of Silent Voices
The Irish Independent
Everything creative I've done has led from the freedom this book gave me. After I read The Artist's Way, I wrote a comedy show and took it to Edinburgh ... this book truly changed the path my life was taking [and] I still go back to it when I feel stuck
Cariad Lloyd, host of Griefcast and author of You Are Not Alone Absolutely incredible
Naomie Harris OBE If there's a key takeaway from Julia Cameron's cult book The Artist's Way, it's morning pages: the daily practice of three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing done first thing in the morning. Many writers and artists swear by them.
AnOther Magazine
Mention the name Julia Cameron to an artist, actor, writer or creative and a reverential gasp will go up, followed by an outpouring of praise for her life-changing Morning Pages practice ... getting rid of all the stuff clogging your mind [so that] when you get back to your day, or your desk, the gremlins of self-sabotage, distraction, fear and negative thoughts that thwart creativity have been acknowledged and set aside. Cameron's version of journalling is a word-of-mouth sensation [and] all kinds of stellar achievers are declared fans
