Publisher's summary

Whether you are a dabbler, a career creative, or a long-time self-proclaimed "tortured artist," Dr. Meredith Hite Estevez is here to help. As a professional oboist, teacher, creative coach, graduate of The Juilliard School, and beloved host of the podcast Artists for Joy, Dr. Estevez knows the world of creatives and what they truly need to cultivate a life-giving practice. The Artist's Joy offers not only tools for the journey but a deeper understanding of the ways the miracle of creativity works in our lives.

Dr. Estevez guides artists at all levels and in all disciplines to build a creative life that resonates deeply with their core values, and to cultivate an artistic practice that is joyful and sustainable. She shares her discoveries and insightful coaching exercises that stem from the belief that when we are connected to what resonates deeply within us, the "tortured artist" trope simply doesn't hold. By looking at creative work through a new lens, she provides us a mean to begin—or to begin again—in sustaining ways.

Complete with self-coaching questions, a group discussion guide, and a companion playlist with tracks for musical meditation and creative engagement, this is your guide for life as an artist that will resonate long after the last note.

The book has such positive ways of helping a person handle life when you are not sure of your path.

I loved the book, the author is so real in letting the reader know what she has gone through. The book helps to direct the reader to write down and think of your feelings. The speaker was not my favorite. I have heard this author on a podcast, her voice would of been perfect for her book.
