This Above All
Jason Cannon
MAY YOU BE EVER BRAVE...
Is there something holding you back from what you know you can do? From who you know you can be?
Are you always starting but never finishing? Your novel? Your music? Your painting, poetry, sculpture, or play?
Do you struggle to maintain passion and balance in your work, your exercise routine, or your relationships?
Don’t hang your head if you answered “yes” to any of those questions. Chin up and crack open…
THIS ABOVE ALL
In this galvanizing, pull-no-punches examination of the obstacles and rewards to living an artistic life, award-winning actor, director, playwright, and author Jason Cannon shows readers how to harness their creativity, rediscover their courage, and break free of the forces holding them back.
Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, even if you can’t carry a tune in a bucket, even if just the thought of getting up on a stage makes you break out in a cold sweat, THIS ABOVE ALL will inspire you to unleash your inner artist and live true.
If you liked THE WAR OF ART or THE ARTIST’S WAY, then you’ll love THIS ABOVE ALL.
