Synopsis

"Eliza Foss performs this powerful audiobook in a mature-sounding voice she modulates with skill." —AudioFile on The Listening Path (Earphones Award winner)

Floor Sample is a memoir from the Queen of Creativity, Julia Cameron…

Julia Cameron has transformed the creative lives of millions, showing them that creativity is their uniquely human birthright. But long before the tools of The Artist’s Way changed the conversation around creativity, Julia developed and used them in her own life.

Floor Sample is the story behind an artistic life—detailing Julia's years in New York, her time as a writer for Rolling Stone, her turbulent marriage to Martin Scorsese, and her painful struggle with alcohol, which ultimately led her to recovery and the methods that would form the backbone of The Artist’s Way.

The life Julia shares in her memoir is tempestuous, flitting restlessly across the country, falling in and out of love, wrestling with alcohol and mental health, but through all of it, always, her art was a fixed point and north star. Featuring a brand new prologue from the author, Floor Sample is honest and unapologetic, a glimpse into the heart and mind behind The Artist’s Way.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

Goodreads review by Lain

The difficulty in critiquing memoirs is that it's near impossible for me to critique the writing without critiquing the life. In this case, there is much to raise one's eyebrows at in Julia Cameron's long, fruitful, and erratic life (she seems to be ruled by the winds as much as by the muse). But he......more

Goodreads review by Denise

Yay! I was excited to see that Julia Cameron wrote her own memoir. After encouraging us all to free our own inner artists, she left me curious as to her own body of work (besides the Artist's Way, Vein of Gold, Right to Write self-help titles she is famous for). I have to warn you--at least with the......more

Goodreads review by Barbara

Okay, I must be on a run of book about alcoholism! Because this is the 3rd (unknowingly) book I’ve read in the last month that this topic figures prominently. Yes, I was a bit shocked at first learning she’s an alcoholic. Sober for many many years. And yes, I must admit that I’ve always passed over Th......more

Brilliant first half of the book and quite depressing the second one. But still worth reading.......more
