In reading this book there were no aha moments, a few head-nodding moments, and a whole slew of head-shaking, frowny moments. Too much ‘go without it how it feels.’ Not near enough ‘sit down, get over yourself, and work.’ Both yin and yang are of course necessary, but it would be hard to overemphasize the importance of unassuming grit, that simple, clear-minded work which actually gets it done. As this book proves, though, it is very easy to overemphasize the touchy-feely. Creating is more akin to what the stonemason does. As artists we're less interested in what the forest spirit does, dancing about in flowing, sheer robes. Exactly what I needed to read right now at this pivotal point in my life. Had I heard some of these quotes before? Of course! Did this book validate the lifestyle that I have created for myself? Hell yeah! I did appreciate the the refresher and the fact that I have carved the perfect path for myself and for my art. Perhaps I have read too many self-help/personal development books, but I found Rubin’s work devoid of genuine “light bulb moments.” Admittedly, the music industry icon offers interesting insights and anecdotes that showcase the creative process. And there are a number of sections that reinforce tenets that have already been explored in various books, articles and studies. For example, our subconscious state allows us to tap into a reservoir of out-of-the-box ideas. Rubin also explores the concept of “innovation through ignorance,” asserting that our lack of knowledge about a topic can open doors to new ways of thinking. Still, so much of the material is fairly fundamental stuff. Examples: Creativity cannot be rushed. Accessing our child-like spirit can fuel creativity. Accepting self-doubt as opposed to repressing it can make it easier to come to terms with it. I have a hunch I was expecting too much from this widely acclaimed book.
So when I read Rick Rubin's book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being, I saw [my mom] in those pages. And it made me think in a new way about the role creativity plays in my own life. Prix et récompensesListes notables
The #1 New York Times bestseller. From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us. "A gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist. It will gladden the hearts of writers and artists everywhere, and get them working again with a new sense of meaning and direction. A stunning accomplishment." --Anne Lamott "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." --Rick Rubin Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. 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.
