5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! A must buy for creative types struggling with career, 23 Jul 2004
By rachelcreative (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
If you're a creative or arty type - or if you just don't seem to quite fit in this is a great book. Practical, sensible, easy to read. At last a book that explains why I'm different and useful as an arty type - instead of just weird!

It's American focused but acknowledges differences for UK readers and it still works.

Has helped me to make moves towards a more creative career, given me lots of inspiration and validation - and even made working in my office IT job easier now I understand why I feel so different to those around me!

If you're struggling with knowing what job to do and you are creative then this is a great book for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Is there a place for creative people in this world?, 14 Feb 2003
I found lots of interesting information in this book, I suggest that you have a short look at it if you, like me, wonder if there is place for hm, yeah, "unconventional" (creative, self-expressive, human, extremly sensitive to some things, intuitive, with a excessive need of freedom, ...) people in this world. The book convince you that yes, there is a need for these kind of people in this world!

The book is a light reading, with inspiring quotes, a personality test to see what type of creative you are, and a listing of professions according to your type.

Highly inspiring these days, i recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wise book, 13 Feb 2006
By William Cohen (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I'm 37 so you think I would have solved the problem of what I'm going to do with my life by now.

Well it was worth reading this book, particulary as my problem is not what to do, but how to earn a good living doing it. Eikelberry is particulary good at identifying the cross you have to bear as a 'creative' person - other people have yearnings to do what you're doing, but they express that as hostility towards you. They don't have the courage to give up the day job or the dedication to make something of their aspirations.

I work as a speechwriter - and the book is packed with super quotations and inspirational messages which I can refashion for my clients. All in all a great book if you are just coming out of university or if you are just unsure what you're doing is the right thing at any age.
