Brett Strickland's Reviews > The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Surprisingly boring. Seemed like something a college freshman would write after discovering Zen Buddhism. Too bad because I’ve always been curious about Rick Rubin. Almost stopped a couple times but then he’d say something halfway interesting and I’d keep going. Feel kind of bad saying that because I can see a certain type of person or a high schooler reading this for the first time and it all sounding new, but it just felt like a lot of empty phrases and basic, recycled ideas dressed up as depth. Not for me.
