About this listen
“The Art of You offers great insights and steps on how to cultivate creativity. This is essential reading for anyone looking to share their unique experience, to foster deep connections, and to inspire others.” —Yung Pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author
From conscious creativity leader James McCrae comes a guide to reclaim creativity as a sacred path to healing; awaken your sense of wonder, execute your craft, and reclaim the artist within.
Whether an accountant or a writer, you are an artist whether you realize it or not. You create your life in each passing moment. The question is, are you creating with conscious intention or creating by default?
Creativity is our true magic. To be alive is to be in a state of co-creation with the universe. But it also requires courage and commitment—especially in a culture that values conformity and trends above authentic expression. For anyone who has hit a creative wall and wants to reignite their imagination and passion, author and poet James McCrae’s The Art of You is a powerful resource to help you access your inner magic and spark your joy in creativity.
Presented in his signature visual style, The Art of You helps you dissolve blockages and turn your imagination into reality. Topics in this book include:
• Creativity is human nature. You don’t have to make traditional art. Creative thinking can be applied to every area of your life, from business to relationships to social media content.
• In a world of increasing uncertainty, creativity is more important than ever. The old social norms are rapidly shifting. Creativity helps us navigate the unknown and shape a better future.
• Creativity is an equal balance of yin (being) and yang (doing). This book unlocks the full spectrum of the creative process, from cultivating intuition to launching projects, providing rituals and practices for each stage of the process.
• Expression is healing. It’s not only about being good at creativity. It’s about creativity being good for you.
• Creativity in the age of social media and AI. Learn how to be an artist in an increasingly digital world.
“Art matters,” says McCrae. “Art gives us comfort, opens our minds to new perspectives, and leaves us awestruck. Art is medicine—for ourselves, others, and the world.” Here is an indispensable resource to awaken the creative power of your soul—whether you’re a writer, painter, dancer, singer, or someone who wants to express your unique truth in work, life, and love.
Critic reviews
“The Art of You offers great insights and steps on how to cultivate creativity. This is essential reading for anyone looking to share their unique experience, to foster deep connections, and to inspire others.” —Yung Pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“The Art of You embodies the message that creativity is the highest form of healing, which has been beyond true in my life and in many others’. If you’re looking for an alternative to the density of the typical spiritual path and to transmute your obstacles into your masterpieces, this book is for you.” —Sahara Rose, bestselling author, host of Highest Self Podcast
“The most powerful decision any of us can make is to live in devotion to healthily experiencing the all-ness that life wants to bring our way. The Art of You shares how to do this and bursts the door wide open for you to make your truest and greatest ripple in the eternal now.” —Alyson Charles Storey, shaman, bestselling author of Animal Power, host of Ceremony Circle podcast

Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage - whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance - as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had.

If you are a working woman, chances are this internal monologue sounds all too familiar. And you're not alone. A shocking number of accomplished women in all career paths and at every level feel as though they are faking it-impostors in their own lives and careers. While the impostor syndrome is not unique to women, women are more apt to agonize over tiny mistakes, see even constructive criticism as evidence of their shortcomings, and chalk up their accomplishments to luck rather than skill.
