Real work of an artists is a way of being in the world - Rick Rubin
Level up your taste �
What I dig about The Creative Act: A Way of Being so early on is how applicable each comment is in totality. Mr Rubin is speaking to all levels of creativity � even if you’re at the furthest from where you wanna be this book provides applicable starting points. Regardless of where the reader is in their trek.
The difference between this book and The Artists Way is Mr. Rubin’s book does not feel like a chore. As though I need to add one more pile of tasks to the day to stir creativity.
The ideas offered are useful. Stimulating. Tip filled. Less militant compared to how Ms. Cameron’s work came across. Just that, as work.
This said, I’ve met people who swear by The Artists Way.
The largest difference for me, this book feels instantly functional. Practicable. Worth rereading. Which I’m very interested in doing. There’s many points worth revisiting. Practicing. Employing. Sharing.
This first read vibes more of an overview, for me. Due to being SO juicy. Applicable. Tangible while being imaginary at the same time. Stimulating my thoughts into new ideas or fine tuning steps.
Borrowed from the library on Libby audio. It’s very popular requiring waiting a few months. Or, getting a copy for yourself to reread :)
If you’re not a member this is a free 30 day Audible listen. If you’ve got a stack of tokens like me 👇🏼
The author is the narrator. Worth visiting within interviews. YouTube is full of them. Search the authors name for more depth of Mr. Rubin’s ideas worth knowing.
A fun addition on audio, Mr. Rubin using a meditation chime to divide parts of the book. These are a means of supporting a break or pause in thought. Helps one reset mentally for the next chunk of new info. For me, added to the experience listening since I’m familiar with this practice and its helpfulness.
