MASTERING CREATIVITY, 1st Edition

From James Clear:
For most of my life, I didn't consider myself to be particularly creative. I didn't
play a musical instrument (or even know how to read music). I wasn't skilled at
drawing or painting, or really anything that involved the words “arts” or
“crafts.”
It wasn't until I moved to Scotland and decided to buy a camera to “take some
pictures while I'm over there” that I discovered that creativity was something
that could be developed. Over the next year, I took more than 100,000 photos.
Fast forward to today and I pursue creative tasks all of the time. Every Monday
and Thursday, I publish a new article on JamesClear.com and display creativity
as a writer. Occasionally, I'll add some hand-drawn images to those articles.
And, of course, I'm still bouncing around the world taking photos and trying to
tell compelling stories as a photographer.
I'm not sure what your creative goals are, but I am sure that you can make
progress towards them. I wrote Mastering Creativity to share the lessons I've
learned and to express one simple truth about creativity: you have brilliance
inside of you, but only if you can find the guts and grit to pull it out of yourself.
