Becoming a Life Change Artist-7 Creative Skills to Reinvent Yourself at Any Stage of Life written by Fred Mandela Ph.D. & Kathleen Jordan Ph.D is a how-to guide to living a truer, richer more creative life.
Not only does it include the stories of people who have done just that, but it gives practical tips for doing so. What makes this book unique is that it includes the lives of famous artists who have applied these skills to their life and art.
So if you are a lover of art, you will enjoy learning more about their lives, and how adversity was overcome using creativity as a starting point.
I am beginning a series about the skills included in the book as a starting point for your own life-change. Although this book can apply to anyone, it primarily addresses the 3rd age of our life, and inspires us to live more fully.
“This book invites us to rekindle the fire and to become ‘enthusiastic’
explorers…not searching for the meaning of life,” rather “…searching for the experience of being alive.”
This journey begins with a Creative Dilemma which is resolved through Exploring, Discovering and integrating. The 7 Creative Skills are Preparation, Seeing, Using Context, Embracing Uncertainty, Risk Taking, Discipline and Collaboration.
