It is a remarkable accomplishment." -Anne Lamott "I tried to write a book about what it takes to create a great work of art; I was not going to write a book about what it takes to create a great work of art. Instead, it turned out to be a book about how it should be done. -Rick Rubin Many famous music producers are known for a particular sound that defined an era.
Rick Rubin is known for something else. It is about creating a space where artists of all genres and traditions can come back to who they really are and what they really have to offer.
Rick Rubin has made it his practice to help people transcend the expectations they have set for themselves and reconnect with a state of innocence where surprise becomes inevitable. Over the years, in thinking deeply about where creativity comes from and where it does not, he has learned that being an artist is not a specific accomplishment, but a relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone's life, and everyone can enlarge that place. In fact, there is no more important responsibility.
The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the artist's path as a path we can all follow. It condenses the wisdom gained from a lifetime of work into a luminous reading experience, putting moments of exhilaration and transcendence, and the power to create a lifetime, within reach for all of us.
