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.

I love Keri Smith. Her books are such joyful invitations to create every day and to live an authentic life of expression. I think this is one of her first publications in what has now become kind of her own "genre." I recognize the seeds of ideas in this book that went on to sprout entire books on that topic later on. So, I think because I have read her more recent stuff first, this seemed a little jumbled to me - as she is trying to squeeze a lot of ideas into one book. But that being said, it...more

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!
It's difficult for me to give 2 stars to one of Keri Smith's books but this one just doesn't hold a candle to books like "How to Be an Explorer of the World" which is one of the books I highly recommend for sparking creativity. Keri has good ideas throughout the book but it doesn't seem as cohesive as her other books. The book is in need of better editing. It's a very fast read. So I am still a fan of Keri Smith, but this isn't the book to get.

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.
Any book that can rev my motor is a keeper! Any time i am feeling empty, i should push myself to reach for such a book.
