Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Creativity is not a divine gift, but rather the result of preparation and effort, accessible to anyone willing to make it a habit. In "The Creative Habit," Twyla Tharp shares insights from her thirty-five-year career, offering guidance for various creative pursuits—be it painting, composing, writing, or even business and cooking. When faced with creative blocks, Tharp turns to a collection of over thirty practical exercises designed to help anyone overcome the fear of starting anew and unlock fresh ideas. Among her exercises, "Where's Your Pencil?" encourages observation and documentation of the world, while "Coins and Chaos" introduces simple mental games to restore clarity. "Do a Verb" integrates mind and body, and "Build a Bridge to the Next Day" helps clear mental clutter overnight. Tharp emphasizes that sustained creativity stems from rituals, self-awareness, and organization, ensuring no insight is lost. She guides readers through the challenging initial stages of idea generation, helping them find the essence of their work and transition from creative ruts to productive states. In her perspective, an empty room or blank canvas is not intimidating but rather a source of energy. This inventive and encouraging guide empowers readers to take a deep breath and begin their creative journey.
