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.

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.

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!
