#2 - We're Alive to Express Ourselves: Favorite Lessons from The Creative Act by Rick Rubin

from I Just Wanna Talk w/ Vinny Van Patten · host Vinny Van Patten

My favorite lessons from one of the best books I've read on creativity and the process of making art, The Creative Act, by the legendary music producer Rick Rubin. In this podcast I walk through each lesson and discuss how it applies to writing my third book, which is my first stab at fiction, a novel based on my experiences teaching English in Japan. This book has helped me tremendously in the creative process, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
