How Creativity Rules the World: The Art and Business of Turning Your Ideas into Gold by Maria Brito

informative inspiring medium-paced

2.0

Less a dive into how creativity actually rules the world but more anecdotal pieces on the history of visual artists throughout history, mostly European based. I had strong hopes for this as a very creative individual, but I felt genuinely tired the entire time and felt like I wanted to rush through to the end since I couldn't gain anything out of it. The beginning had a strong grab but then falls flat and tiring, which is the opposite of what you want for a book that focuses on creativity. I'm sure some people would love this book, particularly painters or other visual artists, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me.
