From her early career as a writer for <i>Rolling Stone</i> magazine and her marriage to Martin Scorsese, to her tortured experiences with alcohol as she struggled with a Hollywood existence that she would never learn to make peace with, in this unflinching memoir Cameron reflects on the experiences in her life that have fed her own art as well as her ability to help others realize their creative dreams. She also describes the fascinating circumstances that led her to emerge as a central figure in the creative recovery movement-a movement that she inaugurated and defined with the publication of her seminal work, <i>The Artist's Way</i>. <br><br> Julia Cameron is a passionate and wry observer of the world, and this story of her life as a self-described "floor sample" for all she teaches in her brilliant creativity books will surprise, entertain, and inspire all of her many fans as well as anyone interested in a good literary memoir. 167488 4 5 2006 Floor Sample total:105|5:15|4:33|3:35|2:16|1:6| 105 350 160 39 3 1 false false Sat Dec 01 08:12:13 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 01 08:12:19 -0800 2007 ...more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 10:55:04 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 11:11:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 23:34:47 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 09:38:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 16:59:05 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 20:42:39 -0800 2009
