Adapting their techniques for fostering creativity as a means to spiritual fulfillment for the workplace, the authors of The Artist's Way at Work have shown that people can thrive at their jobs when they take time to nurture their spirit and listen to their thoughts. The book features psychological guidance, anecdotes, and exercises to assist the reader in sorting out the multitude of happenings, commitments, and choices in one's life. Again, these authors of the enormously successful The Artist's Way recommend their fundamental technique of "morning pages"--a kind of free-form journaling--to unravel thoughts and feelings, focus energy, and direct action. The beautiful surprise of this deceivingly simple exercise is that it actually works! It's making the time to do morning pages that's the real battle. But, if you, like so many others, feel swept up by the tidal wave of our fast-paced, noisy culture, then the authors' slow and steady steps toward reclaiming the spiritual self are invaluable. Some of the suggestions and exercises are a bit out of touch with the complex, and often emotionally-charged, political maneuverings of corporate culture, but the aim of cultivating an individual's ingenuity and resourcefulness is effective and expertly structured. Overall, the authors' philosophy boils down to change that begins with a constantly emerging self. With this book's help, you'll not only find how that new self spawns clarity and grace, but how widely their effects can reverberate throughout the workplace. --Karen Karleski
Product Description
After the publication of the bestselling book The Artists' Way, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan, co-creators of the country's most successful course on creativity, were often told that their techniques helped people achieve their business goals. This spurred them to refine the methods to help people perform more creatively and effectively at work. The program is revealed in The Artists' Way at Work: a twelve-week encounter with your own ingenuity, struggles, strengths and dreams -- as well as the political guidance to enable you to get things done.Through powerful self-assessment exercises with intriguing titles such as "Power Inside vs. Power Outside," "Developing Creative Continuity," and "Finding Your Truth," readers learn to release their creative spirit at work and tap reserves of energy, vision, and passion. The Artists' Way at Work will help you excel in your job, launch the business of your dreams, or find the career you love. Best of all, you will learn to "live in the paradox" -- to develop a personal philosophy of excellence that sustains you, whatever the future holds. The processes in this book are rooted in cutting-edge principles of human development, organizational behavior, and the arts. They have been rigorously tested among business audiences and will unleash a degree of satisfaction at work (and in life) you may never have believed possible. For every one of us who works, The Artists' Way at Work reveals a completely new way to thrive.

 Fantastic perspective on an artists' life! September 19, 2008
What an incredible book and the DVD with printable workbook is a MUST! There are so many insights from successful artist's that show us the strength behind the methods taught. Thank you Mark Bryan and Julia Cameron for bringing the world of a working artist and those with creative ideas to a place where the thought process can be described in terms that help so much for the end goal of success at what we do. Understanding creative minds for what they are and how the process of work relates to all minds creative process is a huge benefit for all.
Artists don't come in one shape or color, nor do they in 10, but in infinity of preferences, passions, drivers, careers, and personalities. Artist's Way At Work helps us to see how mutually driven all people are to make the most of the creative genius within, and how to keep it thriving, successful, and happy.
The nonlinear walk of The Artist Way At Work by Mark Bryan has taken the original work of the Artist's Way to ten years later, in addition to a level where we get to see how all people are `creative' equally in the struggle. The direction in which we move towards this individual creativity in common steps is defined in a way that promotes the ability to overcome traps as a common problem between all creative minds not limited to just writers, painters, singers, and dancers, but also the creativity that feeds the flow in all businesses from scientists to production plants. He teaches us that the psyche of the human dilemma which includes living a paradox creatively and trying to balance real life can be common between all people no matter what job type is involved. He provides structure to work with the well founded "3 C's".
Mark Bryan is a warm, funny and charismatic man with such passion to drive artists to meet with success. We can overcome our paradox through the ongoing use of the teachable, trackable success doing the daily reflections, reframe our failures, and leverage our strengths. His work has led many, including myself, to a far great future. Using his methods daily will inevitably help to consistently overcome what stops us from true creative genius and will lead to both happy and well lives.
His innovative methods to bring artistically creative people to this place of peace, with quality in life, are highly recommended.

Reading the book for a masters level creativity class so I started out a skeptic. While much of the reading in the class has turned out to be very interesting, this book just hasn't struck any chords for me.
Some of the poeple in the class seem to appreciate it so it gets an extra star... but I'd suggest reading some of it before picking it up. If it works for ya, go for it. Otherwise, be cautious.

This is the second Julia Cameron book I have read. It is very much like Artist's Way except it is for the artist in the work place. All of Cameron's books talk about the artist within but it is for those who are looking for self. Self is what you are going to find. It is getting rid of what is unimportant and focusing in on the important making a complete and happier person. I am not quite done with this book but have devoured it and shared it as I did with her first book.
