The Creative Act: A Way of Being

I'm sorry but if I would have encountered most of these inspirational quotes -albeit true, motivational and even beautiful- without further context, I would've thought they were from an Instagram-page by an avatar named Buddhism for the West, or Creative creatures or Dialy inspirations.
For example::
"When the listener is totally present, the speaker often communicates differently. Most people aren’t used to being fully heard, and it can be jarring for them."
...
"Formulating an opinion is not listening. Neither is preparing a response, or defending our position or attacking another’s. To listen impatiently is to hear nothing at all."
Duh! It doesn't reach further than the wisdom put on kitchen tiles or google images with sunrise backgrounds. Maybe Rubin can start a cult with Paulo Coelho?
