Jonathan Zacsh reviewed The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
ok; fine background; hardcopy I'm guessing fine to flip through from time to time
2 stars
nice background audiobook when not in an art-making phase, but trying to remind oneself back in.

nice background audiobook when not in an art-making phase, but trying to remind oneself back in.
A lot of good points are made in this, but there are also an equal amount of meandering truisms, making it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend. Especially if you’re not a beginner.
If you like this book, continue on with Barthes, Albers, Benjamin, Berger, etc. to get to the meat of the themes touched on in this book.
Great book full of golden nuggets about art, life, creativity, collaboration, purpose, time.
Will definitely be rereading this.
