The Creative Act: Book Review celebrates the softback version of this Sunday Times and New York Times best seller.

In bite-size, digestible pieces, record producer Rick Rubin presents a buffet of observations, advice and wisdom. Dip into chapters on the subject of mindset or spontaneity, habits or energy, and refuel your wilted motivation.

Rubin says “I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.”

Indeed it is more about listening and feeling than a to-do list or a career plan.

I love the perspectives, the curiosity and experiences contained in this book.

The Creative Act, by Rick Rubin, is published by Canongate.

Learn eight things that Rick Rubin shared with the BBC’s Desert Island Discs and enjoy his ‘discography’, as shared with Rolling Stone.

What made me want to read the book, was listening to the Feel Better Live More podcast episode where Rick Rubin is Dr Chatterjee‘s guest. Great stuff.
