The Creative Act: A Way of Being

The book has come highly recommended by many, and while I'm a fan of Rick Rubin in general, I must admit that this book left me quite underwhelmed.

The book was line after line after line of superficial inspirational quotes that were interspersed with inspirational quotes written by others. While these are undoubtedly profound teachings, their representation in this book felt like a repackaging rather than a fresh perspective.

I know where he's coming from, but the focus on musicians seemed limiting, sidelining other forms of creativity.

Also what the hell was up with the audiobook version? Chiming bell at the end of each chapter is something you expect in a cultist book, not a serious read.
