The Creative Act: A Way of Being in the World

The Creative Act: A Way of Being in the World - Rick Rubin 

Many famous music producers are known for their specific sound, which has its time and then fades away. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists from all different genres and traditions can assert themselves and show who they truly are and what they truly offer. His practice is to help people overcome their own expectations to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, as he has deeply considered where creativity comes from and where it does not, he found that being an artist is not about your specific output but about your relationship with the world. Creativity has its place in everyone's life, and everyone can expand it. In fact, there are few more important duties. The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a path we can all follow. The wisdom gained from a lifetime of work is summarized in it into a radiant reading experience that gives us all the power to create moments of joy and transcendence within reach.
