There Aren't Enough Stars

I logged on here to get a link and some other data in order to be able to tell others about this book. (I've been telling others about it for a long time now.) I discovered that there are only two reviews (!?) for this book here. Let me hasten, then, to add mine: This ought to be required reading for every individual before they graduate from high school. Of all the books that I recommend to others (of which there are many), this remains at the very top of the list...numero uno. Of the over 200 books I have read on the use of one's mind, body and spirit to achieve and create excellence in one's pursuits of life, this provides the most complete survey of how to use one's sensory intake --how to pay attention -- than the rest.

A Must Read

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. In very clear and insightful language, Booth reveals the wonder of "experiencing" the art of living. Over and over again, I experienced "Ah, Hah" moments while reading this book. This book would make an ideal gift.

Inspirational

This book was an unexpected gem! From the opening words, through the very last chapter, I was caught up in how well the author was able to translate the sometimes esoteric world of creativity for the everyday person. His down-to-earth style helped the subject come alive and after reading the Everyday Work of Art, I feel I can start living more creatively. As a side note, the book's cover, with it's clever cut-outs, compliments the book very well. A supurb package and read!
