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

The title accurately describes the content.
Practical information with an array of interesting historic examples which helps to promote creativity in the reader. Among the most interesting, the idea that creativity is the result of hard work. The example of Mozart, although a prodigy, is compelling. HIs father Leopold began his son's musical education very early in life, and succeeded in capturing his son's interest and imagination. Some think that Mozart had a miraculous gift, but Tharp points out that Mozart wrote 25 symphonies before he wrote a symphony of great success and musical value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
