The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin
#1 New York Times Bestseller | A Profound Guide to Living Creatively
From legendary music producer Rick Rubin—the creative force behind some of the most iconic albums of our time—comes a timeless, genre-defying book on art, inspiration, and presence. The Creative Act: A Way of Being isn’t just a guide for artists—it's an invitation for anyone to live more fully, observe more deeply, and create more authentically.
"I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be." —Rick Rubin
Rather than prescribing formulas or creative hacks, Rubin shares decades of meditative insight on the nature of creativity as a state of openness, presence, and deep listening. With poetic clarity, he offers reflections on removing internal barriers, nurturing ideas, and embracing the unknown—not just in art, but in life.
- For musicians, painters, writers, makers—and anyone seeking a creative life
- Thought-provoking, calming, and beautifully written
- Filled with wisdom drawn from a lifetime of collaboration across genres
- A book to be savored slowly and returned to often
