Very simply written, flows incredibly well. Arguably too well - it reads so quickly one has to force oneself to pause and reflect lest the message of the passage dissipate into thin air.
I would call it a 'meditative' read. Though it nominally refers to art throughout, there is no instruction in the book so much as proposed ways to contemplate, see, and live one's life.
Have already recommended it to a number of friends.

There's a hint in the subtitle 'A Way of Being': Rubin reflects and shares how to use mindfulness in creation and vice versa. Knowing that the book is, in part, using meditation to help improve art helps in judging if the book is for you. There are moments of repetition, which can take away from the flow of the writing. Overall, though, this is an excellent one for anyone who's thinking of creating and one that deserves to be picked up throughout that process and after.

DNF - a mixture of nonsense and common sense, I didn't find anything mindblowing.
