15 Jun The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Rick Rubin
Rick Rubin was called the most important producer. What made him so special was that he created a space where artists of all genres can explore who they really are musically. He has made it his mission to help people overcome their self-imposed expectations in order to return to a state of innocence from which the surprising can be achieved.
Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn’t, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone’s life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities.
The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distills the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime’s work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments—and lifetimes—of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.
