Author of Creativity, Inc: Overcoming the Unseen Forces that Stand in the Way of True Inspiration

“I enjoyed your book very much, and none more than the final chapter, where all your insights seem compounded and synthesized in the journey of your relationship and initiation into fatherhood… Modern people need creative inspiration from hardened warriors such as yourself, carved from the granite of real life, family and relationships.”

– Richard Rudd
Author of The Gene Keys: Unlocking Your Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA

“A beautiful blend of personal experience, philosophy and real-life examples I found the book to be both truly creative and distinct in its style and format. Shaw writes as one would expect of someone who professes to be a lover of beauty – eloquently and delightfully. Coupled with a deep authenticity and honesty and you have a wonderfully nourishing and enlightening book – I highly recommend it.”
