Rick Rubin is one of the music industry’s most iconic executives and producers, and in The Creative Act: A Way of Being, he shares his take on the concept of creativity. A co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, founder of American Recordings, and former co-president of Columbia Records, Rubin helped popularize hip-hop by producing records for early luminary acts like the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, and LL Cool J. He has also produced hit records for musical talents from a variety of genres, including heavy metal, alternative rock, hard rock, nu-metal, and country.
“A beautiful rumination on the creative process...guiding readers through 78 areas of thought. Rubin shares his outlook on creativity, which in turn reflects the way in which he views the world.... The book does a remarkable job of explaining these deep, philosophical ideas in a way that’s easy to understand.” —Complex
