Description

An uplifting, positive and powerful audiobook about breaking through fear and finding joy through creativity, from internationally bestselling author Holly Ringland.

The House That Joy Built is about how to give ourselves permission to be creative. It explores all the big fears that can block our creativity, and the permission we can meet those fears with – not simply to create, but to revel in the life-changing wonder and joy of doing so.

It offers a jump-start for anyone whose desire to create is ruled by fear. For those who yearn to write, or find creativity in other ways – gardeners, sculptors, florists, songwriters, dancers, cooks, painters – anyone who wants to make something but doesn't because they're afraid. Afraid of feeling vulnerable, of criticism and judgement from others, of not being good enough, of not having enough, of having 'bad ideas', of being 'too much'.

In lyrical, inspirational prose, Holly Ringland examines her own sometimes difficult journey to a successful writing career and offers a wealth of encouragement for anyone who wants to unlock their imagination. This audiobook is an empowering clarion call to overcome doubt and experience the joy and freedom of creating.

An uplifting, positive and powerful audiobook about breaking through fear and finding joy through creativity, from internationally bestselling author Holly Ringland.
