Скачать или смотреть My Top 5 Personal Development Books for Artists (That Have Nothing To Do With Art)

This episode offers a softer, spacious moment between heavier conversations—an invitation to return to centre through unexpected channels.

In this reflective yet energizing instalment, Sarah shares five of her favourite personal development books for artists that, on the surface, have nothing to do with art. But beneath the surface, each one opens a door: to identity, to healing, to creative clarity.

None of these titles are presented as gospel. Instead, they are conversation-starters—ways of thinking, reflecting, and coming home to a creative life defined by sovereignty, not obligation.

Inside this episode:
• Why creative growth often begins outside of art itself
• The deeper work of untangling performance, perfection, and productivity• Reading as reclamation—not rule-following
• The importance of questioning ideas, even when they’re beautifully written
• One bonus book Sarah couldn’t leave out

This is a spacious, soulful list—shared in a specific order to support a gradual unfolding. For those interested, all six audiobooks are curated into a Spotify playlist, saved as a highlight at @rockwood_sarah on Instagram.
