Reviews
"The legendary producer of artists from Adele to Black Sabbath, Johnny Cash to Jay-Z, distills the insights of a glittering career to reveal how to get the best out of musicians - and offers useful lessons for the rest of us in the process" Financial Times "A distillation of the wisdom Rubin has accrued over decades of bringing records to fruition . . . Seductive" The Guardian "An existential enquiry into the nature of creativity, art and being part of the human race . . . a deep look at the most fundamental of human impulses" Big Issue "This is 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 "Rick Rubin created genres. He is like Oppenheimer; a destroyer and creator of worlds, a true genius. Read this fantastic book The Creative Act: A Way of Being ." -- Russell Brand "You'll probably read this extraordinary book four times. The first time, you'll gobble it up. The second time, you'll savour it. The third time, you'll take notes in the margins. But the fourth time, the fourth time it will be part of you as you create the work you were ready to ship." -- Seth Godin "What makes Rick Rubin's The Creative Act: A Way of Being great (and it IS great) is not so much the content (though that is extraordinary for sure) as Rick's own personality and his essence as a man and an artist. What I would call the Muse, Rick calls Source. Source in Rick's view is infinite and constant, a nonstop, 24/7/365 trade wind of ideas and inspiration that flow through all of us--not just artists, not just 'creative' types. Rick's whole life and philosophy are about opening himself and others (from the Beastie Boys to Run-D.M.C. to LL Cool J to Metallica and a thousand more) to that cosmic radio station. The Creative Act comes from the pure dojo of Rick Rubin's heart. A lot of the book is technical, there's tons of practical wisdom and nuts-and-bolts throughout, but the essence of the work is love--a belief in Source, of that which cannot be known or defined but that we live our lives by, and most importantly, a tremendous respect and honor toward all artists and toward the process and the mystery itself." -- Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art, "A work of transcendent literature, one that suggests the universe still smiles upon us despite all indications to the contrary." -- The Wall Street Journal "The legendary producer of artists from Adele to Black Sabbath, Johnny Cash to Jay-Z, distills the insights of a glittering career to reveal how to get the best out of musicians--and offers useful lessons for the rest of us in the process." -- Financial Times "A distillation of the wisdom Rubin has accrued over decades of bringing records to fruition...[To] creatives in need of a spur - or anyone in proximity to a client, or loved one, approaching a deadline - The Creative Act has just the right level of confident loftiness to provide succour and useful ways of recontextualising problems." -- The Guardian "An existential enquiry into the nature of creativity, art and being part of the human race . . . a deep look at the most fundamental of human impulses." -- Big Issue "This is a gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist.

I find it so powerful when someone gives voice or form to what we know but perhaps don't understand. Designers from any discipline will find Rick's words profoundly encouraging and inspiring." --Jony Ive "This is a gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist.

You can imagine Rubin in the studio gently reassuring an artist of all the insight he shares here." -- Pigeons & Planes "This book is a companion to anyone on the creative path; for me, Rick Rubin's attention, consideration, ideas have dug themselves down deep into my consciousness and grown with my work, so that over time, I have found myself in the shelter of a huge resplendent tree, and remembered that it all started with a word or two from a person who really, really listened. May it start something similar in you." -- Kae Tempest "What makes Rick Rubin's The Creative Act: A Way of Being great (and it IS great) is not so much the content (though that is extraordinary for sure) as Rick's own personality and his essence as a man and an artist.

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestseller. "The ultimate graduation gift...It's a book I wish I would have had on my shelf when I was 25. It's a book I would give to people who are 25." -- Steve Levitt, People I (Mostly) Admire "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 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. " 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., The #1 New York Times bestseller.

This book is in excellent condition. The quality of the "used book in good condition" has no evidence of any use, or even opening other than a very discreet signature inside the front cover. Certainly the highest quality possible for a used book!
