They are typically cloying and empty. sticky with platitudes. This book rises impressively above that gummy mass. One reason is Graham Ramsays multidisciplinary talent--besides his work as a photographer and author. he is a professional composer. This keeps his exercises from getting mired in a single approach; they are accessible to people without particular artistic skills. Holly Sweet ably provides a psychological gloss on the process that makes the book useful for readers whose goal is to contemplate their own lives. The combination makes the book useful not only for artists. but for anyone who is self-reflective and wants to step out of their usual way of thinking about their life. Students who are thinking about their place in the world will find this book a great aid. But I was struck by how older adults too. looking back over a lifetime of snapshots and memorabilia. can use this books approach to make sense of their lifetime of experience.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerInteresting book with some good exercises.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Creative ExpressionBy Lola MamengI found the book quite helpful in some aspects of self-reflection and I used the "Who Am I Today" activity with my students. Too bad the publisher does not offer desk copies.
