Jocelyn Jones has spent years helping actors to gain confidence in themselves and inspire and guide them to find their own unique perspectives and polish their craft. Now, in ‘ARTIST: Awakening the Spirit Within’, Jocelyn Jones shares the lessons that she uses while teaching in order to help anyone find and enhance their creative outlets, find your inner purpose and move through the world with confidence. Using personal experiences, exercises, quotes and more, Jones shares the lessons and experiences that shaped her as a teacher and a person. This is a guide about unlocking your inner voice, or spirit, and gaining the confidence to follow it. Whether that’s a demonstration of how to practically make your dreams a reality, or ensuring that you have the space to find your way through journaling and meditation. While a lot of the tips are taken from the realm of acting and aimed at guiding the reader to unlock their creative capabilities, I think that an even broader audience would be able to take something from this book as, for me, it focuses most on having the confidence and the self-assuredness to realise what you want and pursue it, whether it’s a smaller goal or a larger life change. An insightful and encouraging, spiritual guide.
