Book
Craftfulness : mend yourself by making things / Rosemary Davidson and Arzu Tahsin.
"Integrating mindfulness, neuroscience, positive psychology, and creativity research, Craftfulness offers a thought-provoking and surprising reconsideration of craft, and how making things with your hands can reconnect us to ourselves"-- Provided by publisher.
Davidson and Tahsin believe that making things is a vital means of self-expression, self-realization, and self-help that sparks the mind, touches the soul, and rejuvenates the spirit. You won't get many crafting ideas from this book, but you will discover that -- whether you knit, crochet, sculpt, weave, quilt, tat, draw, or bind books-- working toward small, attainable goals gives us a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and control that is proven to positively impact our mental health and happiness. -- adapted from back cover
