An empowering guide for artists, makers, writers and anyone seeking to live more creatively, with confidence, calm and joy.
We all possess creativity, whether it's in the clothes we wear, the way we arrange flowers, or the patterns we choose for our bedroom walls. However, in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world, many of us have lost touch with our innate creative abilities. By chasing trends, productivity hacks and protocols, we forget to trust ourselves, instead relying on algorithms to dictate what we like, what we make, and crucially, how we feel.
Award-winning author Emma Gannon understands just how essential creativity is for survival. Through necessity, she has forged her own creative compass to rekindle her spark when it’s running low.
Now, she invites us to set our own inner compass, with mindsets, rituals and actions that help us overcome burnout and mental blocks, reignite our creative inspiration and flow, and reconnect with intuition and self-trust.
Break free from the need for outside approval and create a vibrant, fulfilling life from the inside-out.
There is nothing Emma Gannon does not know about unlocking your creativity. And she’s poured every ounce of that knowledge into this book. A future classic. * Farrah Storr *
Now more than ever this book is required reading for anyone who wants to live a creative life. A Creative Compass provides a much needed reminder of importance of creativity, with some thoughtful corresponding guidance. I have clung to its words during recent world events and felt held, soothed, and at the same time galvanised into creative action. * Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things *
Emma Gannon's honesty, open-mindedness and willingness to be vulnerable lay out a path for her readers to follow. -- Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way
A bright light and a shining star, and in many ways the voice of a generation. -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
Gannon offers a fresh perspective from which readers can begin to see their own paths to joyful, fulfilling lives. -- Martha Beck
Emma has been a professional inspiration of mine for over a decade, both for her creative output and her ability to translate her talent across mediums. Her first creativity guide – packed full of suggestions, yet non-prescriptive – is a gentle invitation to trust one’s own curiosity and intuition; while her personal reflections and anecdotes, shared throughout, are a reminder of the power of doing so. * Francesca Specter, author of Alonement *
