Creative Calling

Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, and Succeed in Work + Life

By: Chase Jarvis

Narrated by: Chase Jarvis

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success – it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer.

** A Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Bestseller **

Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition.

The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill—it's a habit available to everyone: beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life.

Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis’s memorable “IDEA” system:

• Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create—or become—in this world.
• Design a daily practice that supports that dream—and a life of expression and transformation.
• Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real.
• Amplify your impact through a supportive community you’ll learn to grow and nurture.

What was Needed

Ok so I’ve been back into photography for the last two years, taking photos, watching YouTube tutorials signed up for NYIP. I’ve learned the technical through and through because I’ve always been a technical person, but I’ve struggled with the creative part. I can give you the best lighting for most situations but creating I have an issue. This book gave me direction it showed me that what I am now can be developed and molded into what I am trying to be, what I’m trying to accomplish. Chase gave excellent advise on finding that direction and building upon in and things to change in my life to help assist with the change of becoming a creative. This book came when I needed it most, and I appreciate all the lessons given in it. So buy the book you won’t be disappointed, and Chase thanks for all the great advice.

I’ve listened 3 times now.

Excellent read. I come back to this book again and again and have gained new perspectives each time. He is so approachable like an old friend. If you are a new artist or seasoned there is something for you here. A real gem!

Excellent through-and-through!

I recommend it for anybody that wants to be more creative professionally and in life!

Very honest and applicable

Chase Jarvis knows every level of the creative process and shares everything he has learned along the way in a clear, inspiring, applicable, and relatable way.

Inspiring! The gentle kick in A$$ in needed...

As a long time student of Creative Live I was highly anticipating the release of it’s founder Chase Jarvis’ book ‘Creative Calling’. It did not disappoint! As a matter of fact, I listened to the audio recording, and ordered the hardcover copy, which I also highly recommend. Filled with stories of his own and others who have followed their creative longings, it also gives practical steps and inspiration to do the work to get after yours. This is one you’ll want to give a second read or listen to...yeah, it’s that good. Get the book and just get started!
