The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin

5.0

---

Initially I gave this book 4 stars, but found it has really stayed with me for days afterwards, so have moved it up to 5 stars. Whilst I don't think of myself as a particularly creative person, I could still identify with much of what Rick has to say about the creative process and could apply it to my every day life. His philosophies are so simply said, yet carry much weight, depth and inspiration. In particular, he has inspired me to change the way I listen to music so that I get a greater appreciation of the many layered elements of each song. Highly recommended!
