The answer involves awareness, experimentation, patience, instinct, failure, taste, and becoming sufficiently interested in the world that you notice things other people walk past. Rubin writes about creativity less as a professional skill than a way of paying attention, which means you don’t need a record contract, unfinished novel, or suspiciously expensive collection of paintbrushes to qualify. The book is contemplative, occasionally mystical, and refreshingly unconcerned with turning creativity into another productivity system. There are no seven steps to becoming an artist. This may be disappointing until you remember what usually happens to things with seven steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Creative Act: A Way of Being\u003c\/em\u003e by Rick Rubin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreativity, art, philosophy, and creative process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores ideas including awareness, experimentation, intuition, craft, failure, and artistic practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten for artists, writers, musicians, makers, and anyone interested in living more creatively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#1 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e432 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 8.5\" x 6.2\" x 1.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: January 17, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:  Rick Rubin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRick Rubin is a nine-time Grammy-winning producer whose collaborators have included Johnny Cash, Beastie Boys, Adele, Slayer, Tom Petty, Jay-Z, the Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and an almost absurd number of other artists who have very little in common besides making records people remember. His reputation has been built less around imposing a recognizable sound than helping artists figure out what their own sound ought to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53836807897451,"sku":"9780593652886","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6534\/5899\/files\/the_creative_act-Photoroom.jpg?v=1789497508","url":"https:\/\/www.goodbountythestore.com\/products\/the-creative-act-a-way-of-being-hardcover","provider":"Good Bounty the Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
