The #1 New York Times bestseller. From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us. "A gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist. It will gladden the hearts of writers and artists everywhere, and get them working again with a new sense of meaning and direction. A stunning accomplishment." --Anne Lamott "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 Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn't, he has learned that being an artist isn't about your specific output, it's about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone's life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities. The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distills the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime's work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments--and lifetimes--of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.
He is one of the most influential music producers of the last decades. He has worked with some of the most important artists in the music industry: Johnny Cash, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay Z, among others. He is an advocate for meditation and emotional well-being. In this field, he has collaborated with various spiritual and health leaders, including the Hindu guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the physician and author Deepak Chopra.

Aunque el autor proviene del campo específico de la música, el libro es una reflexión muy potente sobre la creatividad en cualquier campo. Escrito de manera sencilla, se puede abrir en cualquier página y no hay que leerlo en orden. No busca ser informativo sino inspirador.

Buenas tardes.
Apreciados señores, como lo expuse en mi anterior comunicación es la primera vez en que me llega un libro en condiciones que aparentemente no es nuevo o algo extraordinario sucedió con el ya que me llego muy sucio y tome un buen tiempo para poder limpiarlo. agradezco y aprecio su servicio y espero con ansias mi ultima compra que ha tardado mucho mas de lo normal pero desde que llegue bien la espera valdrá la pena.
les envío un cálido abrazo.
