É uma leitura rápida, boa e cheia de insights e aprendizados interessantes.
Com certeza retornarei em momentos distintos da minha vida para revisitar algumas dessas passagens que grifei (que foram inúmeras).
É uma leitura fluida, gostosa e que pode ser uma repetição de coisas que já sabemos, mas que acredito ser bom a gente relembrar!
Recomendo!

I didn’t know who Rick Rubin was before I picked up this book, so I didn’t come at it as a sycophant like some folks.
I understand some people’s beef with Rubin’s repurposing of Buddhist philosophy, but I found it helpful so I didn’t mind. Mindfulness does boost creativity. He’s right.
I felt conflicted about some of his points, namely the social obligation of art and the artist — but isn’t embracing those grey areas the point? I enjoyed feeling uncomfortable with some of his arguments and illustrations. The discomfort was useful, as were many of the passages in this book.
I think the whole of the book captured the creative process and its unknowable complexity rather well. I walked away with a lot of useful perspectives, even if some of it felt repetitive.
His chapter on editing was ironic, given that the book could have been cut down by at least 20%. But maybe that’s the editor in me, not the creative.

The book reads like a scripture written by and for artists. Purely for the purpose of making art and nothing else.
It’s hard to comment on the book as a whole, there’s some through lines but it felt more like a collection of ideas. Some ideas and metaphors were mentioned multiple times so it’s quite easy to ready any chapter as the first and will make sense.
It’s more fair rate the book by chapters. Although most were interesting, some do crossover to the realm of potencies. And just a very personal gripe, I didn’t like when the author mentioned when he was working with a certain artist and tried some methods, for some reason I found that very pompous and whenever it happens I do roll my eyes a little.
But some chapters are truly inspiring, I can say I gained many second winds and ideas during the readings. It’s like a meditation.
I found this point in the book quite profound: art is treated as divinity, and it needs to be passed through unfiltered. The only responsibility for an artist is the quality of the art and absolute nothing else.
Overall, pretty good, and I’m glad I read it.
