Description

The #1 New York Times bestseller.

"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.

Q: I'm curious about the cover... Is the image on Target.com just a "placeholder" or is the cover for the book that Target sells actually DIFFERENT from the cover at standard booksellers?

  • A: no, that is the legit cover ( I think) I bought one somewhere else and it was the same.

Wish there was a different cover variation

I will get to reading the book online when I find the time, but the texture of the book alone pushed me to return it. If you’re sensitive to certain fabrics, this could be harsh on your fingers.

I like to skip around

Target V Card - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I'm a huge David Lynch fan and this reminds me of his book Catching the Big Fish. I've always liked hearing Rick Rubin in interviews and I found that this book works best if I just randomly skip around instead of reading it in a linear fashion. It's packed with a lot of great notions and tactics. I was so happy target had a sale on this, since I rarely buy physical books- but I knew that this would be something I would return to at different points in my life- each part will resonate (or totally NOT resonate) with me depending on where I'm at. The audiobook is worth sampling too, since his voice is very comforting.
