Synopsis

Are you ready for more joy in your life?

Writer Flora Bowley believes that everyone can learn how to create a joy-filled life by practicing what she calls The Art of Aliveness.

Aliveness, in this context, goes well beyond the acts of sleeping, eating, working, etc., inviting us instead to look into the depths of our own experience, embrace what we find there, and commit to bringing our truest self into the world.

The Art of Aliveness teaches us how to create beauty out of sorrow, find meaning in the apparent madness that we sometimes find in the world, and choose to build a life we love regardless of the cards we've been dealt.

In this powerful, moving, and deeply personal book, Bowley shares pieces of her own story and the life lessons she's learned to help listeners cultivate this Aliveness within themselves. Packed with exercises and writing prompts, The Art of Aliveness offers listeners a way to make lasting change in their lives.

If you're ready to be the artist of your life, this book can show you how.

Goodreads review by Jaime Lyerly on August 31, 2023

I bought this book when it first released, as I've read some of her other books, and like her art. This book is part self help book, part memoir, and a whole lot of privileged, white woman hanging out in Bali, reflecting on how awesome her life is, while pretending that this will help your life.

Goodreads review by Donna on November 06, 2021

Challenge: Non-fiction November 2021 (Style, 3). Part memoir, part how to creatively style your life by filling it with movement, healing, and excavation of the things that make you discontented as well as joyful. At first, the book seems to offer the usual wordage surrounding the concept that we ar......more
