A empowering, positive and strong book that explores how to break fear and find joy through creativity, by best-selling author Holly Ringland.
The The House Built by Joy is about how to give ourselves permission to be creative. It explores all the major fears that can block our creativity, as well as the permission we can give to our fears — not just to create, but to enjoy the wonderful and transformative joy that comes from it.
It offers a boost for anyone's restless heart who wishes to create but is dominated by fear. It is a book for those who want to write, as well as for people who find their creativity in other ways: gardeners, sculptors, jewelry makers, florists, composers, dancers, cooks, painters… anyone who wants to create something but doesn’t because of fear.
They fear feeling vulnerable, criticism and judgment from others, not being enough, not having enough, having "bad ideas", being "too much". With lyrical, inspiring prose, Holly examines her own sometimes challenging journey toward a successful writing career, offering a wealth of encouragement for anyone who wants to unleash their imagination.
Divided into eight chapters, each addresses a creative obstacle with suggested remedies, including generous, conversational advice. This book is an exciting, empowering cry to overcome doubt and experience the joy and freedom of creation.
