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\u2019t, he has learned that being an artist isn\u2019t about your specific output, it\u2019s about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone\u2019s life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Creative Act<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 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\u2019s work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments\u2014and lifetimes\u2014of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>432 pages 6.1 x 8.8 inches Hardcover &nbsp; \u00a0About the Book \u201cI set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art.
