The best book I've ever read on creativity and how to nurture and make the most of it in your own life.

I found this book inspiring and informative! Many of the included exercises were interesting and thought provoking. While much of the book is about her experience as a dancer/choreographer, she does a great job of translating her message to be applicable in other art forms.

I am not in a creative field, nr am I particularly creative in my personal time; however, I enjoyed reading about Tharp's process. She is truly a master at what she does and a lot can be said about her commitments to her habits (a la Gretchen Rubin).

I love the layout of this book. Large font, regular font, red font for attention... in the end, it validated that we all have what it takes to be a ‘creative’- we just have to do it.

This is a keeper for any artist, full of useful advice, reminders, and stories. Tharp can be a lot to take at times, but there's no question she's a master of her craft, and has the decades of experience to support her recommendations.
