About this listen
A national bestseller, The House That Joy Built is an uplifting, positive and powerful book about breaking through fear and finding joy through creativity, from Holly Ringland.
The House that Joy Built is about the transformative power of finding joy through creativity, and offers a jump-start for anyone whose desire to create is flattened by fear. Fear of feeling vulnerable, of criticism and judgement from others, of not being good enough, of having 'bad' ideas, of being 'too much'. This book is for everyone who has ever felt stuck creatively. It is for those yearning to write, and also for anyone who longs to create but doesn't know how to find a way into, or back to their imagination.
Uplifting, powerful and inspiring, The House That Joy Built is an exhilarating, openhearted clarion call to experience the joy and freedom of creativity.
'A joyous gift from the heart, practical and wise. Blasts those I-can't-do-this terrors with both barrels.' Susan Johnson, Aphrodite's Breath
'I adored The House That Joy Built - it's readable, relatable and raw. A gentle call to action for creatives. This book is my new talisman for a creative life - it will hold my hand when I'm drowning in self-doubt and fear. Holly lays her heart on the page and encourages readers to do the same.' Amy Lovat, Mistakes and Other Lovers
'A joyous permission slip to any creator who is fearful of putting pen to paper, brush to canvas, plant into soil, or whatever their passion may be. Holly guides the reader into unlocking their restraints and reminds the reader of the life-changing marvel that creating freely can be. The House That Joy Built expertly intertwines memoir with self-help and is a valuable toolkit for readers to overcome their inner critic and self-doubt.' Weekender

Inspiring and delightful
I’ve been a fan of Holly’s for years, and attended many of her events. When Holly talks candidly, her energy is infectious. She speaks inspiration and wisdom so effortlessly, you sometimes wish you’d brought dictaphone. This audiobook captures so much of what I have loved to hear from her over the years, and spoken in her voice is such a treat.

Life Changing, poetic, moving and beautiful.
I stumbled upon this book by pure chance. Or was it destined? I won’t ever know. I cannot do justice to it with my words. It has moved me to tears, made me laugh and chuckle, and filled my body with a force of creative energy that has had me writing new songs in my sleep and in my waking hours, and I desperately miss my guitar. I knew I should have packed it when I left home for this moment. If you are creative, whatever form that takes for you, step into this extraordinary new world. Holly Ringland you are a force of nature. A truly beautiful woman. I’m so glad I happened upon you. When I’m done listening to this one, I will probably listen again, then buy the hard copy and go find your first two books. I’ve recommended this book to three of my dearest artistic friends. I can’t wait to hear their thoughts. ❤️

Heartfelt and encouraging but no need for the swearing
I loved the narrative of this book and the genuine, beautifully read voice of the author, and I will definitely listen too it more than once.
If only there was less use of the *F* word. Don't get me wrong, I swear plenty and it can be used to great effect. It's just that in my view it's simply not needed here. For me, the swearing was an annoying distraction and the very opposite of the creative energy conveyed throughout the book.
There are, however, many great and heartfelt suggestions and ideas in this book making it worth the read. It's also delightfully rich in passion and I could very much relate to the author's experiences. It is very helpful, encouraging, and reassuring to hear from the other side. This book is a heartfelt sharing from someone who made it through the personal limits we impose on ourselves, and encourages you with practical ways so you can do so too.
Highly recommended.

beautiful
beautiful story peppered throughout with famous quotes from other creatives.
I can tell she gained alot of inspiration from Julia Cameron and it is a very good supplementary book to ensure creative practices are lived.
it's a story everyone should read and the world would be a better place if more people lived creatively.
also I love that it is written by an Aussie,
