The House That Joy Built is about the transformative power of allowing ourselves to feel joy through creativity, and offers a jump-start for anyone whose desire to create is flattened by fear. Fear of feeling vulnerable, of criticism and judgement from others, of not being good enough, of having ‘bad’ ideas, of being ‘too much’. It is for everyone who has ever felt stuck creatively. For those yearning to write, and also for anyone who longs to create but doesn’t know how to find a way into, or back to their imagination.
This book is an openhearted clarion call to experience the joy and freedom of creating.
