Two months into its existence, here are some enthusiastic comments from various reader reviews of Writing at the Wellspring:
- “It easily earns its place on my shelf of texts that have challenged and changed how I think about writing and the creative life.”
- “What I’m thoroughly enjoying is the way Matt Cardin weaves those deep, existential questions in and out of the practical, grounded realities of writing itself…This is a book that doesn’t just talk about creativity; it inhabits it.”
- “Matt has put into words things that have been alive in me for a long time, but which I have never articulated myself.”
- “There is potential here to change your life…Cardin’s writing stirred something dormant in me.”
- “This is definitely more than a self-help book on creativity. Matt Cardin’s range of scholarship, casual reading, philosophical spelunking and theological scholarship here forms into one single vision…If Colin Wilson and Krishnamurti and ST Joshi had written a tome on the essentials of creativity, it would be something like this.”
- “It was incredible finding an author able to describe how to unlock the skills I’ve been working on even further.”
- “This book is by far the best book I have read on creativity. I hope it will reach many people and help them freed from creative block, procrastination, paralyzing self-doubt, and perfectionism.”
- “This isn’t a how-to book about writing. It’s a book about why writing matters, and what it’s actually touching when it’s real.”
