The Nautilus shell has often been used to symbolize this self-improvement process of spiritual and personal growth – continually moving into newer, larger “rooms” of our life. But, unlike growing a shell, personal development can get bumpy and may not be always be in a forward direction.

My book:Dev. Multiple Talents

Douglas Eby, a multi-talented writer himself, provides intriguing tastes of amazingly varied and comprehensive views of creativity, creators and the creative life, plus where and how to find more.” “It is not always easy to host a kind of overdose of talents: Often one career direction is not a sufficient outlet for one’s creative thrusts. And being basically uncommon may impede the finding of proper peers as a guide or reference for personal maturation. Douglas Eby’s book is kaleidoscopical, just like the subject he describes.
