Creative Act Hardcover – 17 January 2023

A deeply aware, introspective and observant read on being human, creatively; recognizing our unique role in creating and shaping the life we live through existence, and the worlds we can create for ourselves as a species; when we pause, observe, understand, become aware, and then create; with our most fundamental, exciting & innate to every human, natural trait of fundamental creativity.Rick Rubin is apart from being a successful music entrepreneur and producer, a human being who has developed an innate sense of the skill of observation; Seeing patterns emerge and play out, many repeating principles at the core of creating great art; by being in close proximity and part of the intensely emotional, vulnerable and, simultaneously liberating act of creating music with other great artists who also tap into this flow state of pure Consciousness in order to deliver their best performances; which we as human beings on the end of listening, crave to connect to through their voices and sounds, so we can simultaneously liberate ourselves from our own emotionally-built walls, to find peace amidst the chaos.All this to say, that this book is such an effortless read of deeply spiritual concepts written in a manner to have quick and immediate effect on you, set in a context of the life of artists but accessible to anyone doing any job really, and revealing more as layers in subsequent reads. Like a great lyric in a song that may be just a line or 2, but at the right moment, reveals yourself to you, enshrining that moment's impact on the journey ahead. Buy the book with no regrets, take it on your journeys, experience reading it with some chai/coffee by the beach or up in the mountains! :)A MUST BUY, for all human beings, not just the ones from the music industry.⊙

It's amazing from the cover, the printing and the pages are so fine to the curated writing of the author. It's is freakishly relatable to my own psyche. It's like a polished and well organized version of thoughts which you were not sure about. It has earned a place in my life. It's moving and strong and helpful in my journey of being an artist.

This book is a really wonderful book. It even is a type of a book which helps one to be spiritual enlightenment as well as the author of this book is also one of the great musicians who has been also in the podcast of Andrew huberman labs

best book on knowing creativity

I'd been waiting to read this since so long. It's finally here. I received the book in great condition.

I used to feel like everyone perceives the world differently from how I perceived the world. I used to feel more sensitive, more insecure as an artiste. I didn’t know why. This book became my answer. It made so much sense. Rick Rubin is a force in music - he has practically defined modern pop single handedly. Now with this book he opens about his process his ideology. Life changing absolutely must buy if you’re an artiste on the journey of self discovery.

This book opened up so many knots in my life. I started looking at life from a completely different perspective. It made me appreciate small little things in life, and find joy in doing the mundane.

Just pure gem for any creative/non-creative individual trying to get a hold of being a better problem solver and take any creative Endeavor
