Publisher's Summary

Brain researchers in recent years have discovered the vast, untapped potential of the brain's little-used right hemisphere. Art therapist Lucia Capacchione discovered that our nondominant hand is a direct channel to that potential. Her research and fieldwork with people using their "other hand" provides the raw material for this classic, first published in 1988. 

In workshops and private sessions, Lucia has worked with thousands of people, employing these techniques to help them become more creative, expressive, and intuitive in their day-to-day lives and also experience improved health and greater fulfillment in their relationships. 

Lucia will show you how to:

  • channel the deep inner wisdom of your true self
  • change negative attitudes about yourself
  • unlock creativity
  • uncover hidden artistic abilities
  • and heal your relationships.

Through various drawing and writing exercises, Lucia Capacchione hopes you will discover the power that lies hidden in your other hand. The techniques will help you explore and understand your thoughts and feelings on a completely different level and reconnect with a sense of playfulness you may have left behind in childhood. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good information, presented badly.

I don’t know if it’s the writer’s personality that gets on my nerves or the narrator’s interpretation, something is just off.
If I didn’t have prior knowledge on the matters discussed in the book, I would’ve dismissed it as a hoax by how fakely and exageratedly everything is presented.
Solid scientific arguments are there but they’re mixed up with highly personal “one person said they felt this”, testimonials which are presented by an author who is clearly saying to us “See, this person’s life was changed in a dramatically wonderful way! Your left hand will solve every problem in your life, trust me, go do this exercise and have a joyful life because of it”.
Spirituality gets mixed in too, not that it shouldn’t, but again, the way it’s approached feels shallow. “Hey, did you know your left hand helps with spiritipuality too?! “. That’s the personality that comes across. Then we have arguments such as “ All your problems are just how you interpret things! Change your perspective and everything will be alright! “ written pretty much exactly in those words, and with no further explanation.
Adding a touch of law of attraction (“ visualizing my future house was like a magnet force that helped me to get it” or something in those lines) to the neuroscience-psychology-medical-spiritual soup made me drop this book, even though I am convinced (due to prior knowedge) that many of the things inside are in fact true, just presented badly.

Saccharine breathy narration

It was hard listening to the narrator’s sweetly sweetly voice but the information was good

good introduction to art therapy

rlly enjoyed learning about the stories of those people who tried this method and author also suggested her other works to try as well.

tried out the teaching in the book and it works so it's a tool book and I would recommend this to others trying to find out what what work for them in terms of healing.

Enjoyed Topic - struggled with narration and writing style

The topic had lots of potential and was interesting. The narration and writing style left me feeling exhausted from trying to concentrate whilst listening.
