Exit the Cave: Embracing a Life of Courage, Creativity, and Radical Imagination
Ebook
Redeem your story, redefine your creativity, and make a life
that truly matters
Sometimes the greatest gift you can receive is for your life to
fall apart. After years stuck in a painful cycle fueled by past
abuse and ongoing addiction, actor, artist, and director Blaine
Hogan finally hit rock bottom. No longer able to hide behind the
veneer of success or find comfort in the shadows of compulsion,
Blaine was forced to look at the story his life was telling and
realize he'd lost the plot.
Desperate to find hope, he gave up a budding career and took a
major life detour where he discovered that facing his past was the
key to unlocking a new kind of creativity. In Exit the Cave,
Blaine shares the stories that shaped him while exploring how our
relationship to our past defines how we imagine the future and live
in the present. Through powerful personal revelations, he invites
you to take up the practices of radical imagination and real
creativity so you can tell a better story with your life.
If you've ever been stuck, addicted, ashamed, discontented, or
lost, take courage--a richer, more imaginative, and meaningful life
is waiting for you just outside the cave.
"A tender but fierce story of survival, reckoning, and redemption.
Blaine manages to somehow weave themes of acting, allegory,
addiction, family, and faith into one beautifully written account
of his own healing. This is the kind of story that will redeem
you."--Laura McKowen, bestselling author of We Are the
Luckiest
"Blaine Hogan has inspired me for many years with his unique way of
seeing the world. In this book you'll find a blast of inspiration
and a trusty guide to help you exit the cave and enter a world that
is real and beautiful and vital."--Brad Montague, New
York Times bestselling author and illustrator of The Circles
