Leading NZ Artist Publishes a Book on How To Feel Good

Leading NZ Artist Publishes a Book on How To Feel Good

Leading New Zealand Artist Emma Wright’s has turned her attention to writing.

Her new book, Feel Good Friday — flush with humour, insight, compassion and absolute honesty — is a salve for the things life throws at us, doled out by an artist choosing happiness over suffering.

Life can be messy—you get rejection slips, you have too many things to juggle, your family irritates, you have secrets that shame you. But it can be pretty fabulous, too—you go on vacation, you hit a creative hot-spot, you muster the courage to follow your dreams. Everywhere across the globe, people live the full and magnificent palette of life — but sometimes, a little kick in the pants, a new way of seeing or a simple injection of love is needed.

Every week around the world, big hearted people tune into Emma Wright, an artist musing about life, love and creativity. But unlike most Artists this one's musing are spun from a candour about her own shortcomings and informed by a wealth of personal experience — experience that is sometimes embarrassing and sometimes tender, often hilarious and always real. Having successfully battled her own demons to make a life of creativity, Emma Wright sits down each week to answer the question called — how do I foster gratitude within the chaos of modern living? The best ones of which are collected in this volume — where Emma proves to be the perfect tonic for those who want more than an uplifting quote, but less than the latest 300 page self-help manual.

Praise for Wright’s book: This delightful helping-you-how-to-live book is going to a classic for the 21st century life-seeker. And for artists. Deirdre from Kapiti.

Emma Wright is brilliant. As a fellow mother-partner-woman-creative-coffee-drinker (not necessarily in that order!) Emma just gets it and her words take me to new levels of thought, objectivity and ultimately feeling better about my lot/role/life. I highly recommend this collection of her musings to anyone. Kate from Waiheke.
