هدية من شخص عزيز وصلت في وقتها، كل كلمة كتبت كنت محتاج لقراءتها في هذه الفترة من حياتي، فترة مميزة يبقى بريقها للأبد. تتحدث الكاتبة عن كيفية الحياة عن طريق اللعب.
تقصد باللعب أن نجعل وظيفتنا من شيء نحبه، وظيفة يمكن أن نخترعها نحن من أساس لعبة نحبها و نحن صغار مثلاً، أو هواية تشغل بالنا أغلب الوقت.
أحببنت الكتاب كثيراً، و أنصح الجميع بقراءته. ة.ة

This is really a cute little book with lots of fun ideas and tips to inspire and motivate. That was my first impression. Then i flipped through it again to jot down a few points i wanted to remember and found it was a bit more than just a cute little book...
Yes, it has a lot of info i've read in other books (just look at the source pages in the back) but it's nicely condensed and to the point. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a pick-me-up, but has no time to read.

The idea behind this book is to have more fun and do more activities. This as an idea is really interesting. There are some cute freebies in the back of the book, for example cool postcards and cut-outs. Overall an ok ‘Self Help’ Book but a couple of Smiths ideas were slightly cheesy. Worth buying if you are young at heart!
(Non-Fiction -art, creativity, inspiration) This book was my first introduction to Keri Smith. If I am ever stumped and need inspiration, I will gladly re-visit Ms. Smith again.
Amazing and inspiring book to read, made me think a little more about where i'm going in my life.
I very much enjoy this book. Many a dull moment has been brightened with it's recommendations.
Having a creative block? The great thing about this is that the exercises are very action oriented. If you actually do them, they will probably get you inspired. And the exercises are written in such a way as to be as easy or as complicated as you want them to be. There's not a lot of description which is a good thing. Sometimes it's a little too skippetty-tra-la-la for me, but only sometimes, which is good for a book like this.

Changed my life. I adore the direction this book placed me in. Keri Smith is a true gift of a writer. She celebrates the littlest moments that get overlooked often and in turn creates a brand new perspective filled with creativity, imagination, love, light, and fun. I will read anything she writes.
Ich habe es bislang nur einmal flüchtig durchgeblättert... Sieht ganz witzig aus! Allerdings wirklich nur für Frauen gedacht, wie man an den "Anziehpüppchen" sehen kann.
miss esme asked for this at the bookstore, and when we didn't have it, i special ordered copies for both of us. this is super fun to read, and has little things you can cut out, a declaration you can sign, and other fun stuff like how to start a "creativity group".
I received this book for Christmas 2007. It is an enjoyable read. I was somewhat disappointed that much of the information contained I'd seen elsewhere with more detail. However, the exercises are inventive and lead to interesting self observations.
I do love multi-dimensional books.
This one is fun but only for those who can remember how to be a kid again. Its perhaps a bit on the girlie side so beware.
The games and exercises are a great help with positive creativity.

Great little book full of inspiring ideas for artists and writers. The artwork is a little too whimsical for my taste, but the exercises are lighthearted and fun. Good to have around the studio in case of a slow day.
Another 'project' book, only a bit more girly this time. Inspiring to-do's, fun board game and a very helpful piece on how to make a living doing what you love¬
Fun fun fun! The exercises are simple per se, however, they really shatter your comfort zone. Love a challenge :)
A lovely, inspiring, motivating book that will make fully embrace your creativity and geekiness!!!!
I try to read this every year to jump start my creative side. Time to read it for 2008!
a fun little, cutesy book with some good messages about liberating the artist within.
great to find inspiration to get out of your daily routine
Fun exercises to spark your creativity.
I love this book!!
get your creativity on!
Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

I'm really enjoying this!! The book is full of activities for a playful life, including lots of fun cut-out stuff, stickers etc. So far, it's been really fun although it's surprisingly intimidating scribbling randomly in a journal, or making a 'pocket shrine.' I consider myself pretty creative but its hard to not think, 'is this just a waste of time!?'
