Daily Rituals: How Artists Work

The format surprised me. It's really a compendium of one creative person's routine after another. Looking for patterns, gleaning insight from an artist's routine, or understanding the connection between an artist's routine and his or her productivity are exercises left to the reader.

I found it very inspiring to see how people were able to get things done despite having serious challenges in their lives. The general lesson is: don't wait for inspiration, just put in the work every day, even if it's just a few hours.

The rituals were interesting, but thought there would be a bit more behind it then just 2-3 pages on each person, no sort of commentary or analysis.
