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.

Inspiring
I have always thought I wasn’t creative because I can’t draw or compose but Holly has changed that and I am so excited. I want to explore my inner creative and embrace what I love. Thank you Holly.

What a jewel
Thank you Holly. This book was compelling and so inspiring. I am an artist and have been struggling with imposter syndrome and a feeling of being burnt out, I also have complex PTSD. I could relate to everything Holly described in her story. FYI my psychologist who is trained in trauma, suggested this book to me and she was spot on.

What a gift! Thank you.
I love Holly’s writing and it was gorgeous to hear Holly herself read this one. This was a breath of inspiration I sorely needed. A beautiful encouragement - we’re not alone, creativity is worth the joyous, awkward, haphazard pursuit and our inner child deserves a glorious inner country to live in. Thank you Holly and those surrounding her, excellent to the last word of the author’s note!

Life Changing
I have no words-thank you isn’t enough. You have brought tears to my eyes and hope to the little girl who dreamt of being an author but was smothered by circumstance.

What Gratitude feels like…
This book has been on the wish list fir a while even though I had idea of what it was about nor had heard of the Author. I woke up this particular day in the desert on a podcast free day, spun the wheel and pressed play.
I know this story…. It sounded like my voice …. An artist from the Gold Coast with a a beautiful relationship with the desert that is no longer serving me, coming out of fear into an era of creativity.
I will undoubtedly listen to and read this again just as I have big Magic and I will dust off the neglected copy of the Artist’s Way that was gifted to me over s decade ago.
Grateful for the call to hear this book!
