Big Magic (Deluxe): Creative Living Beyond Fear Hardcover - 2015

From the publisher

A must-have, one-of-a-kind, limited presentation-case edition of worldwide bestseller Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, each bound in unique art by watercolor rock star Lourdes Sanchez. In the spirit of Big Magic, a limited edition of two hundred and fifty copies has been created, each of them signed, numbered, and bound in a unique piece of art created by New York artist Lourdes Sanchez, printed on satin, stamped with gold foil, and housed in a pristine white presentation case. Sanchez s geometric works reference ancient tribal cultures, cellular biology, urban detritus, the natural world, and the quest for union with a spiritual force. Her paintings are represented by the Sears Peyton Gallery, where she had her first solo show in New York City this spring. Big Magic reveals the secrets of Elizabeth Gilbert's own generative process and shares her unique wisdom and perspective on creativity. Gilbert offers insights into the mysterious nature of inspiration and discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits that let us live our most vibrant lives. Embrace curiosity. Let go of needless suffering. Tackle what we most love, and face down what we most fear. Balancing between soulful spirituality and cheerful pragmatism, she helps unearth the strange jewels that are hidden within each of us. Whether making art, find new ways to address challenges in our work, or embarking on a dream long deferred, Big Magic cracks open a world of wonder and joy.
