This is the second book by Dr. Estes that I have bought as an audiobook. The other is The Late Bloomer, which was also profound and interesting. I love her intelligent interpretation of the stories and their meanings about our creativity. They just make sense deep inside. She speaks both like an old friend and a wise teacher.

Love Dr. Estes

This is one of my favorite books by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Her narrative is impeccable, filled with passion and content. I wish it was a longer book though, to keep listening. I really enjoyed it and couldn't recommend enough.

My new favorite book.

Clarissa makes it easier for me to understand where those blocks are coming from and how to break through them!

At first, I thought this book was just a bunch of ramblings. I almost gave up on it. But, by the second chapter, it really started to get good and I started to connect. Its definitely worth a listen. It made me think about some things differently for approaching children when they create art...just some different ways of says, "good job!" and to keep encouraging them.

Insightful

Rich in analogies, and stories to help process that part of ones mind in creating.
