š Legendary Music Producer Rick Rubin Spills the SECRETS to Prolific Creativity in His New Book
--
āThe ability to look deeply is the root of creativity.ā
š Hey, good evening!
One of the (many) reasons Iām so optimistic about the future is that weāre about to enter into a golden age of creativity, self-expression, and art.
As more people all over the world get lifted out of poverty, connected to the internet (and to each other) and brought online, and escape wage slavery, weāre going to see more people become artists.
Or, rather, weāre going to see more people discover for themselves that they are already artists.
You are already an artist, and as legendary music producer Rick Rubin talks about in his new book, it might be impossible to discover who you are without first expressing who you are.
For literally the entire history of humanity, most people had no freedom whatsoever to gain self-knowledge through creative expression.
But now, because weāre living in the goddamn future, everybody is going to have this freedom.
Just wait and see!
While weāre waiting (and yes, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do to make this golden age a reality the world over), Iād like to humbly recommend that you check out Rubinās book, The Creative Act.
I thought so highly of this book that I wrote a complete breakdown of The Creative Act for the Stairway to Wisdom, highlights of which Iāll share with you here in this article.
The breakdown itself is about 12,100 words, covering all the Key Ideas, Book Notes, Action Steps, and more.
Itās also free, by the way.
Itāll only take you about 46 minutes to read the whole thing, and in it, youāll learn how to experience the world with the same quality of attention youād bring to landing a plane, discover how no two single gusts of wind are ever the same, learn how to create sustainable systems that will enable you to do your best work, and much more besides.
You can read the full breakdown here, but Iāll give you a little preview in this email soā¦
