The Artist's Way at Work

Riding the Dragon
--Mark Bryan with Julia Cameron and Catherine Allen

The groundbreaking book The Artist's Way has helped more than a million people access their creativity and realize their dreams. Now, at the urging of their students who found that The Artist's Way techniques also helped them achieve their business goals, authors Mark Bryan, Julia Cameron, and Catherine Allen extend and expand the original Artist's Way tools in an all-new twelve-week program specifically designed to encompass the world of the workplace.

We asked hundreds of business people to tell us the things that concerned them. We received a wealth of such heartfelt questions as:

This book answers these questions and many more. The Artist's Way at Work will help you thrive at the job you now have, move into the career you truly want, or launch the business of your dreams. It combines the strength of three fields: the art world, which gave rise the original Artist's Way, the entrepreneurial world, and the corporate world.

The Artist's Way at Work will give you a more satisfying, fully creative life in which you will feel a sense of wholeness, not fragmentation, a sense of cooperation, not competition. While the process is rooted in state of the art ideas on creativity, management theory, and group dynamics--and is, in that sense, quite modern--it is also simple and timeless as it guides you toward reconnection with your own values, history, and integrity.

This book will help you become more authentic, more productive, and better able to see and speak your truth in all facets of your life.

About the Book...

Everyone talks bout change in the workplace--the constancy of it, the speed of it, the importance of adapting to it--but few people can give you a simple set of instructions not only to cope with it but also to take advantage of it. This book does exactly that.

The Artist's Way at Work reveals why imagination and curiosity are the keys to success and satisfaction at work and in life. It will make you more creative in your business, but just as important, it will make you more creative in your life as a whole. The result will be a heightened sense of authenticity, adventure, excitement, and candor.

Through powerful self-awareness exercises and practical tools, you will discover hidden reserves of power, vision, intuition, and passion and will learn to use them effectively in businesses large and small. From this foundation, you can work wisely, confidently, regardless of the climate around you. You will learn to "ride the dragon" - to develop a personal philosophy of excellence that sustains you, whatever the future holds.

People, not bricks and mortar, make up companies. A company is not an it; it is an us. By increasing your innate powers of ingenuity, intuition, and awareness, this book will help you become a catalyst for positive change in your life and in your workplace. It will revolutionize the way you live and the company you keep.
