Publisher's summary

Find your creative artist within....

Creative conversations from some of the world's top photographers, filmmakers, Grammy award winners, TED presenters, actors, CEOs, and more!

Time for a new mindset. Many of us think of creativity as something distant and incompatible with daily life - a skill that artists get to use, but not the rest of us. Maybe you feel like a land-locked surfer, yearning for exhilarating rides. Or maybe you live for the few hours a week when you can take photographs, paint, or write. It’s time for a new mindset. Create shows you how to rediscover the artist within you.

Live a more creative life. People who make a living in the creative arts know that there is a cycle to unlocking the imagination. Visualize, know your tools, work your craft, refine, share. When you tap into this cycle, you’ll find ways to operate at your highest state in all aspects of life.

Find your creative purpose. Overcoming the barriers to innovation is easier than you think. Marc Silber, best-selling author and award-wining creative and educator shows you how to avoid the traps of procrastination, overthinking, and self-doubt. The exercises in Create are specifically designed to help you find certainty and confidence in self-expression.

Learn how to:

  • Master the techniques of visualization
  • Draw inspiration from the world around you
  • Collaborate with people who can further your vision
  • Share with others to spread the joy

If you enjoyed motivational books like The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life, Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, and Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way: 25th Anniversary Edition, you’ll love Create.

Awesome book to inspire you!

I listened to the audible version of this book and found it informative, entertaining, and inspirational. I also ordered the hard copy since Marc has several exercises in it in which you need to think or write about your answers to his prompts. He has compiled a book here that not only makes you want to get out there and photograph, but also questions you about your vision. It is easy to teach the technical side of photography, but the vision and creativity part is another thing, and Marc has shown through this book how to utilize the creativity you already have.

Just a basic beginner book

Honestly this book was okay to start with, great if you are struggling to lit fire to your creative journey. I breezed through everything in 2x speed and listened in one go, while doing other chores. It's a basic motivation to ensure your creative journey, with practical tips to light it if you're stuck and actually getting through with the guidelines.

Avoid this book

The book wastes so much time using the dictionary to “define” terms. It starts off with stories that aren’t helpful at all. This feels like a mirror of his previous book which wasn’t that great. I ended up returning this title. It feels like a high school assignment with double spaced lines to try and pad the paper. I honestly tried several times to get through it and I couldn’t. AVOID!
