The Creative Act: Rick Rubin's 12 Rules for Creativity and Being Yourself

The Creative Act: Rick Rubin's 12 Rules for Creativity and Being Yourself

Ever feel like creativity is reserved for “real” artists? Rick Rubin’s 12 rules say otherwise. They’re for anyone who wants to live and create with more honesty. Rubin, the legendary producer who can’t play an instrument, built his career by helping others strip away what’s fake and tune into what’s real. His rules aren’t about being clever; they’re about noticing, subtracting, and getting comfortable with discomfort. I’ll share how Rubin’s approach helped me stop overthinking and start making things that actually felt like me. Think of creativity as tuning a radio: your job isn’t to invent the music, it’s to find the right frequency. Notice inspiration everywhere—train yourself to be amazed by the ordinary. Make a mess first, judge later—let ideas breathe before you kill them. Change your environment to change your mind—move your desk, move your thoughts. Tune in to discover how to make your work (and life) feel more like you. ---- Advertisers BetterHelp The world's largest online therapy provider ⁠⁠BetterHelp.com/GrowthMindset⁠⁠ - 10% off 1st month Liquid I.V.
