"Some ideas may resonate, others may not." - One of the first sentences in "The Creative Act", and a fair statement regarding the contents of this book. Sadly this is a book I was slightly disappointed by. It still offers a very unique perception of creativity and artistry. Throughout this book, Rick Rubin teaches readers how to get through creative crises and broaden their mindset. A lot of interesting insights into the music industry, as to be expected from a book by Rick Rubin. In my opinion, not as "life-changing" as some other readers might tell you. No high wisdom, just very logical concepts that partially resonate with me.
