Would have liked to have given this one a 3.5. Very interesting take on the writing life. The second half (shaman and warrior) appealed to me more than the first half (mystic and monk), which frankly surprised me a little, especially the mystic part--figured I'd be more into that. In any case, some interesting exercises that focus on things you might not ordinarily think of as related to writing, but that make you think.
Very much "author wellness" in the Julia Cameron vein. I thought the spiritual stuff was too lightweight, really, but it did have some very good moments and I'll keep it around. I think its biggest accomplishment was to make me think about the shaman and warrior aspects ("path" is a bit Too Serious for a shortish chapter) - and more thinking is always good.

Writing isn't just a way of releasing information. On the other side, it is a way of helping someone to learn, not always in the traditional way but it can be just as inspiring to the author as the reader.
In simple terms, this book was perfect for me. I would recommend it to any writer in the world.
