Dancing with the Gods: Reflections on Life and Art

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 on
well-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)
