Trust the Process

By Shaun McNiff
Trust the Process by Shaun McNiff digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A guide to embracing the ups and downs of the artistic process—and allowing them to carry you along your unique creative journey
 
Whether in painting, poetry, performance, music, dance, or life, there is an intelligence working in every situation. This force is the primary carrier of creation. If we trust it and follow its natural movement, it will astound us with its ability to find a way through problems—and even make creative use of our mistakes and failures.

There is a magic to this process that cannot be controlled by the ego. Somehow it always finds the way to the place where you need to be, and a destination you never could have known in advance.

When everything seems as if it is hopeless and going nowhere . . . trust the process.

Trust the Process Reviews

3.5
“Strong open, middling middle, decent close. His overall philosophy is good and helpful. The technique ideas kinda drag on. His message is worth the read tho. I would keep it to sharing excerpts here and there. The book gets slow at some point.”
