Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Touted as the long-awaited sequel to The Artist's Way, Cameron's latest is so similar in look and format to the original that they could be sold in a boxed set. Previous follow-ups, including The Vein of Gold and The Right to Write and a slew of little spin-offs, here give way to a 12-week course of encouragement and exercises promoted as an intermediate level of The Artist's Way (inviting us to anticipate an advanced volume). At first and for a long way into the book, we encounter the wheel-greasing exercises that worked magic for millions, helping people discover their innate creativity by devising gentle ways around the myriad obstacles that block us (e.g., listing things we would secretly love to do.) Cameron re-introduces the basic tools the daily morning exercise of hand-writing three free-flowing pages and the weekly solitary "artist's date," designed to help us romance our inner artists and she adds the ancient practice of walking as a means of getting in touch with our deeper feelings and truer thoughts (hence the title). "When I can, I walk with friends, noting how companionable our silences become, how effortlessly deep our conversations," Cameron writes. Cameron does indeed capture the feeling of strolling and talking with an old and trusted guide. Her core insights are the same as in earlier volumes, yet her words seem to have grown wiser. She writes about the distractions of success, and about the long solitary stretches "climbing the glass mountain" it takes to bring a large-scale creative project to completion. Her latest book reveals how reaching higher also means going deeper. 10-city author tour.

From Library Journal

Cameron had an international best seller with The Artist's Way, which outlined a program that encouraged the reader's innate creativity. Here she extends her discussion of the topic. Aimed at practicing artists-and she considers everyone from full-time pianists to part-time pie makers to be such-Cameron explains how creating a work, whether it's a novel or a nosegay, puts people deeply in touch with the Great Creator. Then, in the form of a 12-week program, she outlines steps and exercises to nourish the "artist within." Some of these ideas, such as the pages she recommends writing every morning, will be familiar to readers of her previous work. Others, which are meant to help readers discover traits such as dignity, authenticity, and discernment, are new. Given Cameron's obvious familiarity with, and fondness for, the artistic temperament, this book is essential for public libraries serving "arty" communities. Most other public libraries will want a copy as well, since Cameron's broad definition of creativity will resonate with many patrons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, Mar 30 2010
By 
Kerry King (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walking In This World (Hardcover)
As usual Julia Cameron has rocked my world again.
I enjoyed her book The Artists Way so much, did the full course, and
truly it changed my life. Mr SON recommended the book to me. Then I found
out my friend had taken the course too.
I have started doing the course...Walking in This World...now and I am
loving it.
I am a better person and happy to be seeing the world through different
eyes and being easier on myself. I really think Julia shows us how to
have more fun in life, it's working for me. My creative self is coming
back out of hiding.
Try it you will love it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prefer listening in this world to Julia herself, Oct 31 2008
By 
Brigitte Pick (Pierrefonds, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At first I thought my ears were "off". I had listened to Julia on "the Right to Write" and loved her voice. Then I plugged into Walking In This World and the pitch of the voice was not right. Had no idea that it was someone else reading her material. Should have checked that out before buying the product. I don't like it.

3.0 out of 5 stars This didn't work for me, Sep 9 2003
This review is from: Walking In This World (Hardcover)
I could not get inspired by this book. I consider myself a fairly creative person, but this was just a bit too spiritual for me. I thought her anecdotes were average, and I thought the exercies were trite. If you are seriously one dimensional, I think this book might help, but if you are accustomed to keeping a journal, belong to a writing group, visit museums on your own, you will be way past this book.
