Reviews
"Twyla Tharp's amazingly plain-spoken treatise...is a frank, honest, and tough-love testament essentially arguing that art and creativity are matters of hard, old-fashioned work." -- Sid Smith, The Chicago Tribune, " The Creative Habit emphasizes the work habits that lead to success." -- C. Carr, O: The Oprah Magazine, "An entertaining 'how to' guide, The Creative Habit isn't about getting the lightning bolt of inspiration, but rather the artistic necessity of old-fashioned virtues such as discipline, preparation and routine." -- Cathleen McGuigan, Newsweek, "[An] exuberant, philosophically ambitious self-help book for the creatively challenged." -- The New York Times Book Review, "Though its context is a choreographer's world, its principles are universally applicable and sound....It could change your life." -- Elizabeth Zimmer, The Village Voice, "The Creative Habit emphasizes the work habits that lead to success." -- C. Carr, O: The Oprah Magazine
