4.5 Stars

The thing I liked the most about this book was that I received a peek into the backstory of Felicia Day. I remember when she was a recurring character on Star Trek the Next Generation and then started her own web series called The Guild. I am not even sure how I stumbled upon it in the first place but I soon realized what a powerhouse Felicia was and is. 

This book gives you all the tools you need to jumpstart a lackluster creative spark. She not only gives examples but she gives you real life situations to draw upon. She’s been there. She knows the deal. I loved that about this books. The real man’s/woman’s book to creative abundance and how to attain it.

You need to spark some joy in your life? Read this. Konmari has nothing on this. This helps you to live your joy every day and be more authentic in your truth. No trashing of valuables required.

Just a great book and one that I would recommend to anyone.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
