    Disclaimer: This is not the official book; it is a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    Drawing upon her own experiences as a writer, Cameron employs a compassionate and encouraging voice to guide readers through a transformative twelve-week program that aims to recover and unleash their creativity. Centered on the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, it embarks on a spiritual expedition into the self, urging readers to undertake a deep exploration to overcome the inner hurdles that impede their artistic journeys. 
    Each week unveils a new set of explorative tasks, thought-provoking questions, and exercises, all meticulously designed to ignite the dormant creativity in individuals. The journey is accompanied by the establishment of foundational routines such as “Morning Pages,” a practice involving daily free-writing that navigates one’s stream of consciousness, and “Artist Dates,” which encourage the exploration of stimulating activities to fuel one’s imagination. 
    As you delve into your summary of this revered handbook, consider accentuating the spiritual elements that intertwine with creativity. Showcase how Cameron bridges the gap between the creative self and the spiritual self, paving the way for an enriching journey that is not just about nurturing creativity but also about reclaiming the self.

    There's no such thing as a former KGB man. 
     
     
     
    Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world. 
     
     
     
    More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilize Western democracy.
