Creative professionals benefit from support, too.
Revisado: 04-10-23
As someone who works in the arts, whose hobbies are making “the arts”, whose sense of community comes from being creative around other creative folks, and whose go-to tools for navigating tough times tend to involve various forms of creativity, I’m glad to find a podcast which talks so relatably about various aspects of creative work and life. Some aspects of being a creative professional are generating the ability to tolerate (or to bounce back from) uncertainty; becoming familiar with the journey of holding a creative vision internally and taking the many (often invisible) steps to nourish a product or project into fruition; being able to navigate walking a different path than many around us. The creative life is a good life, but it’s also really good to have support.

The author of Wishcraft and I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was..., Barbara Sher became famous for her extraordinary ability to help people define and achieve their goals. What Sher discovered is that some individuals simply cannot, and should not, decide on a single path; they are genetically wired to pursue many areas. Sher calls them “Scanners”—people whose unique type of mind does not zero in on a single interest but rather scans the horizon, eager to explore everything they see.

Worth a Listen, Especially for Creatives
Revisado: 06-02-22
As a creative person I find myself pursuing new curiosities regularly. I have often sought to understand my creative compulsions in a way that honors them and honors me.
Especially in the later chapters of this book, there is a lot of really great advice for how to different kinds of creatively curious people can structure their lives and also structure of the ways that they think about — and archive — their multipassionate curiosities.
I am tempted to gift this book to most of the creative people I know.
I know another reviewer took exception to the voice of the narrator, but I feel like that review threw the baby out with the bathwater — especially given that the review expressed they weren’t going to listen to the actual book. I have listened to other audiobooks read by Barbara Sher, and this narrator’s voice wasn’t different enough to deter me from the tremendous value I receive from listening to Barbara Sher encouraging me to be the kind of creative person I am, and to find ways to fully enjoy the experience.

On December 21st, 2012, the world was supposed to end. When the apocalyptic date came and went, the world concluded the Mayan prophecy was a myth. But it was not. The Earth was saved by extraordinary intervention from planet Akara — home to an awakened civilization far more evolved than our own.

Science Fiction feels hopeful.
Revisado: 03-19-22
I would recommend this book to people who need a reminder of why our planet is worth saving, who want some escapist science fiction which will bring them home to themselves again.
It was well-narrated, well-written, kept me interested and curious all the way through to the end — and beyond.
There are a lot of great things I want to say about this book.
I bought this book after hearing about it in an online group about being intentional when envisioning the future — not just a future for oneself or ones immediate family, but an approach to “future-tripping” which begins to imagine what it could look like to have a heart for the whole planet and all the living beings on it. This book kept me hooked for a marathon of listening, and curious about the possibility of the lives of the characters continuing the story in the future.
I think fiction — especially science fiction — is a wonderful medium for painting vivid pictures of the futures we’d like to see, and, in the “guise” of entertainment, offering words as a kind of medicine for the realities of the world we find ourselves living in. Fiction can allow readers to develop deeper curiosity and more complex relationships with complex topics, which most news reports just don’t have the capacity to satisfy.
As I accepted the invitation-to-adventure that this “fish out of water”/“coming-of-age” story offered me, I also thought a lot about the ways that working with others towards meaningful goals can help each of us to find our purpose, discover that we may have more to offer the world than we generally assume; and can lovingly help us to challenge and enlarge our assumptions about “why we’re here”.
The characters in this story each came from backgrounds which limited their ideas about themselves, about their capabilities, and their potential for growth, change and contribution. Seeing how each character dealt with the “glass ceilings” of cultural conditioning and their own internal messages of self-doubt was inspiring for me.
This story was a loving reminder that the first step in any journey is just to be willing to show up. I’m glad I showed up for this book. It really showed up for me.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

What a great read!
Revisado: 08-28-21
This was such an entertaining book! It reminded me of what might result if Forest Gump, The Dream Team, Bremen Town Musicians and Oceans Eleven met up for a good-natured relay race through the history of the 20th Century.
Lately I’ve been feeling my age, and this story is a wonderful reminder of the adventures, contributions and choices that people can make at any age. I loved the reminder that people don’t stop having personalities as they get older; they become a cornucopia of skills and experiences. It was a great reminder that getting older just gives us more time to learn interesting things and to be curious about the world around us. It speaks to the power of friendship, and what can happen when we reach out to be friends with people, whether they have much previous experience at being friends or not. It speaks to the possibility of growing ourselves and growing into new relationships with people we may have previously written off during earlier stages of life. This book was so joyful, hopeful, and vibrantly alive, and has me looking forward to feeling that way too, as I continue to age.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

A Good audio interpretation for fans of the Graphic novels
Revisado: 08-27-21
I’ve seen a lot of comments from those who felt that 1) this jumped around too much, from those who didn’t like the repetition of the Title/theme music, from those who didn’t feel this kind of storytelling matched up to the expectations they’ve come to have of Neil Gaiman’s writing. Neil Gaimain’s early fiction work was written episodically, for comic books. Not graphic novels, but the flimsies; the original, slim, magazine-sized periodicals. He wrote the stories for deadline, and because of the nature of a lord of dreams, the disjointed quality of storytelling is a good adaptation to the necessity of writing on deadline, but also exploring the vast creative possibilities of a lord of dreams. I actually love that the storyline isn’t linear. Because Morpheus, the protagonist, is “Dream of the Endless”, I always understood him to have a somewhat fluid relationship with time (although there’s also a clear sense of “before” and “after” certain pivotal events, which shift his perspective from his original “factory setting”.
I know I’m not going to change anyone’s mind with my review, but I’d like to encourage people to be aware that “The Sandman” as an ongoing comix series allowed the young writer Neil Gaiman to cut his teeth in fiction, to explore from many different angles the themes he found/finds most compelling, and that this wide flung creative outpouring was an essential part of his growth as a writer. This storytelling grew him into a writer who could go on to write the other novels that some commenters have given as examples of his “better” work. I like his later work a lot, too. I love that Neil Gaiman seems to be a writer who is not content to rest on his previous creative explorations and who continues to grow and create in ways that continue to excite my curiosity. In his commencement speech, “Make Good Art”, Neil Gaiman spoke about wanting to write in a lot of different genres, for different media: comix, children’s books, screenplays, an episode of Dr. Who, adult novels, etc. I love it that he does fully embrace the form of the media he’s written for. This audio adaptation is a comix adaptation. It’s not trying to turn the comix into a novel or a movie. Instead, it is presented episodically, as the comix originally were. The repetitive title theme music is a reminder, not only that these episodes are created to leave intact the structure of what were originally published as separate issues of the title “Sandman”, but also that what comes next will be a different piece of the patchwork quilt of stories that makes up the whole.
So much of this review so far has been sort of defensive about the criticisms that have been levied against this Title, but now I’d like to just speak to my own experience of listening to this, rather than to someone esle’s. I liked this a lot. I had read the graphic novels when I was much younger, and I’d read them out of order, and I actually felt that listening to this audio series helped me to find *more* of a throughline than I had previously remembered from the stories. Listening to these in the space of a few days, it was easier to keep track of the timeline of human lifetimes and family relationships (Unity Kinkade is one example, for me). The voice acting was great. I like comics and graphic novels very much, and this audio adaptation did a good job of augmenting that particular format/medium. I loved being reintroduced to these stories from a new angle.
