| Description | Guidance and wisdom for young artists, from award-winning artist and writer Kent Nerburn When Kent Nerburn received a letter from Jennifer, a young woman questioning her calling to spend her life in the arts, the writer and artist was struck by how closely her questions mirrored the doubts and yearnings of his own youth. Nerburn resolved that he would write his own letter: a letter of welcome and encouragement to all young artists setting out on the same strange and magical journey, sharing the wisdom of a life spent working in the arts. From struggles with money and the bitterness of rejection, to spiritual questions of inspiration and authenticity, Dancing With the Gods offers insight, solace and courage to help young artists on the winding road to artistic fulfilment. Tender and joyous, it is a celebration of art's power to transform the darkest of human experience and give voice to the grandest of human hopes. Review "With a poet's grace and a craftsman's precision, Kent Nerburn has written a powerful and deeply moving meditation on what it means to live the life of an artist - and, ultimately, what it means to be human. Dancing With the Gods might be the most inspiring book you'll read all year" (DANIEL PINK)"Helpful, deceptively simple, straight-shooting, celebratory" (MARGARET ATWOOD)"Kent Nerburn's understanding of the transcendent nature of the creative process is vividly on display in his uplifting new book. His enthusiasm is contagious. Tune into his wise words and make something beautiful" (RICK RUBIN)"A tender and beautifully written guide for anyone working in the arts . . . [a] little gem of a book" (The Wee Review)" Like Paulo Coelho, Nerburn takes on a spiritual grandfather role. [This] encouraging piece of text . . . hinges onwell-researched, inspirational quotes from great artists. Sometimes that is what we all need . . . If you're in need of a creative pick-me-up, cherish this " (DJ Mag)"A rare invocation of pure spirit. I loved it like an old song" (ANDREW O'HAGAN on NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG)"A book of revelation . . . a true-life fable and a provocative call" (ROBERT PLANT on NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG)"Kent Nerburn reveals to us that which lies beyond the surface appearance of reality. His writings are permeated by stillness. In a world gone astray, they are of inestimable value" (ECKHART TOLLE, author of The Power of Now on NEITHER WOLF NOR DOG) About the Author Kent Nerburn is a sculptor and award-winning author of sixteen books.

We give things a new story. We sell and buy books, Lego sets, board games and PC games. In the beginning, it was the wish of two enthusiasts to improve the functioning of second-hand bookstores and be beneficial to the world. Today, we create a huge community of conscious people who are looking for a sustainable shopping choice from a financial and environmental perspective. And with them, with you, we write new stories of things that would otherwise remain forgotten. We will send you the money for everything you sell to us immediately. With us, you don't wait for the books to sell. We will do what we say. We believe that even the smallest details are of great importance, so we think through every aspect of our business, from the way we buy books, through packaging materials to communication with each of you. We have designed our Restocks loyalty program of shopping credits to reward you for every support you give.
