The Creative Act: A Way of Being
Well, this book, quite unexpectedly, from the very first sentence, told me in a subtle yet powerful way to get my act together and start putting in the work, because if I don’t, someone else will seize the opportunity and end up living the life I have always dreamed of.
I honestly don’t know what else to say, except that the texture of the book cover is absolutely incredible. It adds such a unique and tactile dimension to the experience. Huge thanks to the publisher!!!!
Jokes aside, I truly appreciate the incredible motivation this book has given me through both my good days and my darker moments. Honestly, I have never felt this inspired or driven after reading just a single chapter of any book before. For the past six months, it has been like my personal therapist—always there whenever I felt too discouraged or unmotivated to write, read, or fulfill my responsibilities. This book has become my go-to source of encouragement and strength, far beyond what I expected. It’s not just a simple guide on creativity; it feels like a profound consultation, offering wisdom and insight that truly transform your mindset.
Or maybe I am only exaggerating because I have ordered this book in the right time of my life and it just fulfilled the right part when I needed the most. In order to not experience the “book hangover” -ness I still haven’t finished this book and no intention to…
It will be one of my bedside table books, as in “the books that have shaped my perspective and probably gonna read again” type of book.
Rick Rubin, I love you…
