A dynamic new creative-renewal program from the woman who has inspired millions to discover and recover their creative souls.

Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way has inspired everyone from musicians like Steven Tyler and Alicia Keyes to writers like Patricia Cornwell and Erica Jong—as well as millions of artists at every level. The basic premise of this bestselling work and her many creativity books has been that “every person is creative, and can use their creativity to create a life of ‘enough’.”     Inevitably, the question Cameron faces from her students, especially today, is not one of creative inspiration but of practicality—how can I live the creative life but still pay my mortgage?

In The Prosperous Heart, Julia Cameron presents a ten-week program for using your creative heart and soul to lead you to prosperity in all the areas of your life. With inspiring new daily tools and strategies that follow in the footsteps of Cameron's groundbreaking The Artist's Way, this book guides readers in developing a life that is as full and as satisfying as they ever thought possible.

Drawing on her decades of experience working with artists as an expert on the creative process, Cameron shines a clear light on the path to forging a direct relationship between the passion that ignites our creative work and the more practical aspects of living our lives (for example, how one can keep a roof over their head without losing track of their soul!) In this wise volume, Cameron gives readers the courage and permission to live their lives as they create their art: purposely and fully.

About the author:
Julia Cameron has had a remarkable career, which in turn has given remarkable help to others. Herself an award-winning poet, playwright, and filmmaker, she has written thirty books, ranging from her widely-praised, hard-hitting crime novel The Dark Room to her volumes of children's poems and prayers.Despite her extensive film and theater credits, which include such diverse work as Miami Vice and the prize-winning romantic comedy God's Will, which she both wrote and directed, Cameron is best known for her hugely successful works on creativity.

The Artist's Way has sold more than two million copies worldwide, and her followup bestsellers The Vein of Gold, Walking in this World and The Right to Write are likewise flagship books which are taught in universities, churches, human potential centers and even in tiny clusters deep in the jungles of Panama.    Credited with founding a new human potential movement that has enabled millions to realize their creative dreams, Cameron eschews the title creativity expert, preferring instead to describe herself simply as an artist. "Artists have always mentored, I just do it on a wider scale."

Her credits range from Rolling Stone to The New York Times. As a teacher, she has taught everywhere from The Smithsonian to Esalen, The New York Times to Northwestern University where she served as writer in residence in film.  As a filmmaker, she collaborated with former husband Martin Scorsese on "three films and one daughter, Domenica."
