Rick Rubin

From the legendary music producer, a savant at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book, many years in the making, that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us. TARGET CONSUMER: Readers of THE ARTIST'S WAY and BIG MAGIC “I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.” —Rick Rubin Many famed music producers, however brilliant, become known for a particular sound which has its day and then ages out. Rick Rubin, on the other hand, is most famous for something else: for creating a strong safe space where artists of wildly different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. To surprise themselves, and thus the world. Rubin’s true art is for helping people get out of their own way and commune with the powerful creative signal that is their birthright. Over the years, Rubin has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn’t, about what it takes to strike a deep nerve within ourselves. Perhaps above all, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s a relationship to the world. Creativity has a space in everyone’s life, and everyone has the opportunity to make that space stronger. Indeed, it may be our most important responsibility. More than five years in the making, The Creative Act is a series of meditations that illuminate the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It is a beautifully generous offering of the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime’s work spent in the service of exhilaration and transcendence, distilled into a timeless classic that puts those feelings within closer reach for all of us.

kreativ. Die Kunst zu sein

Del legendario productor musical, un maestro en el arte de ayudar a los demás a conectar con las fuentes de su propia creatividad, llega un libro maravillosamente fraguado a lo largo de muchos años con una visión profunda de la creatividad y de la vida dirigida todo el mundo. «Me propuse a mí mismo escribir un libro acerca de cómo crear una gran obra de arte. En lugar de eso, se reveló como un libro acerca de cómo Ser.» Los grandes productores musicales suelen ser reconocidos por un sonido único que solo ellos son capaces de lograr. Rick Rubin es conocido por eso y por algo más: por saber crear un espacio en el que artistas de diferentes géneros y tradiciones se reencuentran con su identidad profunda y con aquello que realmente tienen que ofrecer al mundo. Rubin ha convertido en una práctica su impulso de ayudar a las personas para que trasciendan expectativas autoimpuestas y reconecten con un estado de inocencia en el que lo sorprendente se convierte en inevitable. A lo largo de los años, Rubin ha pensado mucho en el origen de la creatividad: de dónde viene y de dónde no, y ha aprendido que ser artista no depende tanto de un resultado en concreto, sino de cómo nos relacionamos con el mundo. La creatividad tiene un lugar en la vida de todas las personas y todos podemos hacer ese espacio más grande. De hecho, hay pocas responsabilidades humanas que sean más importantes que esa. El acto de crear es un curso bello y generoso que ilumina el camino del artista como una ruta que todos podemos seguir. Este libro destila la sabiduría recogida durante el trabajo de toda una vida y la convierte en una luminosa experiencia de lectura que tiene el poder de crear momentos —y vidas— de gozo y trascendencia al alcance de todo el mundo.

El acto de crear

El acto de crear (Edición mexicana)

L'atto creativo è essenzialmente un libro di auto-aiuto progettato per guidare gli artisti attraverso il viaggio creativo. Che cosa vuol dire creare? Cosa è un'opera d'arte? Cos'è la musica? Il processo creativo è spiegabile? Vera e propria icona dell'industria musicale, Rubin è noto per tirare fuori il meglio dagli artisti con cui lavora grazie alla sua capacità di sviluppare un rapporto di fiducia reciproca che porta i musicisti ad accedere alle più profonde sorgenti della loro fonte creativa e scoprire la musica che desiderano fare. L'atto creativo è il distillato della conoscenza di Rubin e dei principi della creatività e qui troviamo non solo la summa totale delle sue osservazioni artistiche ma anche la visione rivelatrice del misterioso processo di rendere grandi le cose. Rubin incoraggia la sperimentazione e il mantenimento della meraviglia infantile. È contrario alla competizione e al confronto, assicurando agli artisti che la concorrenza per un artista è solo con se stesso mentre è sul sentiero dell'evoluzione. "Mettere il massimo impegno in ogni momento, è tutto ciò che possiamo sperare di ottenere", sottolinea Rubin. Una delle sezioni più interessanti del libro è un elenco di "pensieri e abitudini che non favoriscono il lavoro", tra cui "credere di non essere abbastanza bravi", "abbandonare un progetto non appena diventa difficile" e "pensare di poter dare il meglio di sé solo in determinate condizioni". Pensatore visionario come pochi altri, Rubin ha detto che voleva "scrivere un libro su cosa fare per realizzare una grande opera d'arte. Invece, si è rivelato un libro su come Essere".

Das Kreativ-Geheimnis des Star-Produzenten hinter Johnny Cash, Adele, Run-DMC, Jay-Z und U2. Der NY-Times-Bestseller Kreativ. Die Kunst zu sein ist eine weise und überaus klare Quintessenz seines Lebenswerks. Es beleuchtet den Weg des Künstlers in einer Weise, dass wir ihm alle folgen können. Es führt uns zu den magischen Momenten von Hochstimmung und Transzendenz, in denen alles möglich ist. Viele berühmte Musikproduzenten sind für einen bestimmten Sound bekannt, der seine Zeit hat. Rick Rubin ist für etwas anderes bekannt: einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem Künstler*innen aller unterschiedlichen Genres und Traditionen zeigen können, wer sie wirklich sind und was sie wirklich zu bieten haben. Er hilft Menschen dabei, ihre selbst auferlegten Erwartungen zu überwinden, um sich wieder mit einem Zustand ursprünglichen Offenseins zu verbinden, aus dem Überraschendes entstehen kann. Im Laufe der Jahre, in denen Rick Rubin intensiv darüber nachgedacht hat, woher Kreativität kommt und woher nicht, hat er gelernt, dass es bei Künstler*innen nicht um ihre spezifische Leistung geht, sondern um ihre Beziehung zur Welt. Kreativität hat einen Platz im Leben eines jeden, und jede*r kann diesen Platz erweitern. »Eigentlich wollte ich ein Buch darüber schreiben, was es für ein großes Kunstwerk braucht, stattdessen offenbarte es sich als ein Buch darüber, wie man kreativ ist.«

Rick Rubin, a writer by trade and historian at heart, combines years of research with his journalist's eye for detail and poet's ear to create one of the most compelling and readable histories of the Native American people of the lower Columbia River. Rubin conveys information about the people's daily life, spiritual beliefs, mythologies, and how the introduction of white settlers into the region forever changed their culture. Thanks in large part to the abundant salmon runs the Chinook-speakers residing along the lower Columbia River were among the wealthiest in North America. Master fisherman and expert canoeists it was not uncommon for a single canoe and crew to net two tons of succulent Chinook salmon on a single outgoing tide. A thickset people with artificially flattened heads, anarchistic politics, and a highly stratified society, they spoke a language unconnected to any known language on earth. Yet despite all their wealth and accomplishments they were all but completely wiped out in a few short decades after whites first landed on their shores.
