I wrote (and designed) this book for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a spark. Over the years, I’ve learned that staying creatively energised isn’t about doing more, it’s about tuning in to what we really need. I hope this handbook becomes a supportive companion on your journey, as it has been for me while writing it.

If you're a designer, writer, artist, or anyone trying to stay inspired while juggling life’s demands then this book is for you.

The Creative Wellbeing Handbook offers practical tools to help you reconnect with your creative energy, without needing more discipline, time or hustle.

This isn’t another self-help manual. It’s a gentle companion full of visual inspiration, lived wisdom from over 100 creatives, and Emmi Salonen’s personal story of burnout and renewal.
