it was amazing

bookshelves: audio-books, non-fiction

Her meditation on creativity is equal parts her own experiences, those of others, and society’s evolving relationship to it.

A key point I took away were that their creative careers are best regarded as checker boards, rather than ladders. Another is that happy creatives are flexible, given how art constantly evolves.

Don’t confuse “And Then We Grew Up: On Creativity, Potential, and the Imperfect Art of Adulthood” by Rachel Friedman for a self-help book. However, it indeed helped me see creativity a bit more sanely. Jennifer Rubins did a great job narrating the audiobook version.
