Rick Rubin - 'The Creative Act': Why every (youtube) creator should own one.

I recently bought Rick Rubin's new book - and I feel like it's already a gamechanger for myself as a creator, my creative process, the way I think about myself and creativity in general.
It's more than a book.
But more on that in the video.

The audiobook is gold. Rick Rubin narrates himself. 📖 🎧

I am reading this book now. I to knew there was a Rick Rubin, but I didn't really know what he did. Then I saw a podcast with Lex Fridman where he talked to Rick and I thought, "Wow! So this is Rick Rubin!" I am late to the game but I am here. Thank you for your content! You are MORE than a "nobody" from Germany.

I'm a musician from Argentina. I found out about this book today and felt very intrigued about it. I searched youtube and your video is the first one that popped up, or at least the one that caught my attention. Thank you for encouraging me to read it. Wow, isn't the internet a curious place? Big hug and keep up the good work!

The best book I've read in years... it's basically become my bible/instruction manual for life!
Glad to hear it's impacted others the same way 😁✌

I just finished watching an interview with Rick about his book and writing it. Thanks for your input.

Rick Rubin has been a name and the force behind so many acts I've been taken by that I've been aware of since I was 14 years old. This work for me feels like being let in to the truth I've been certain existed for all that time. Like self-help, but a confirmation as opposed to an affirmation.

Really good review. I've been reading, re-reading and listening to The Creative Act for a few months, it feels like a book that can only be properly reaped of it's contents through m a n y rereads, in different times and places. Hope the channel succeeds for you, this is good quality content.

Arrived here after People I Mostly Admire - Steve Levitt podcast. Need my own Dojo

[LifeHackerCouple]

That’s was awesome Benjamin, Thanks a million for your thoughts on the book 📖 I’ll tell Rick you say hi 😊 keep going on your channel you got what it takes. It can be slow at the start but just watch every interview that Mrbeast has done if you want to mater the art of YouTube. Or just understand that attention is the key 🔑 if your videos can get 60%+ retention the algo will push you. Ok. Cheers mate

Good book in many ways, but at the end of the day as a failed artist, and failed musician... Despite achieving goals in the past. Currently I have to decide if I'm prepared to spend lots of hours writing, recording a song, doing a video, only for nobody to download it even if it's free. It's a book written from Rubin's viewpoint of being around successful artists to give them spiritual and motivational guide, if you're in a position where no one gives a toss, then this book is a pointless read. It's for people who are already getting stuff out there, and who may have doubts, it's about creating as a form of philosophy.
