Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. In The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, self-help and spirituality intersect.
What We Say: “A meditative read that ponders the act of creativity and its presence within all aspects of life, this book both inspires and reminds you of the importance of being creative and leaning into that process. The messaging of this book reminds us that we’re all naturally creative – and giving ourselves the chance to explore that in a non-judgmental way can be wonderfully freeing.” – Hena Sharma
What They Say: “In this extraordinary book, Rick Rubin beautifully captures the sacred but commonplace practice of creating. I find it so powerful when someone gives voice or form to what we know but perhaps don’t understand. Designers from any discipline will find Rick’s words profoundly encouraging and inspiring.” – Sir Jony Ive
