I didn’t take a liking to The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp that probably a few people have, although there was some things I did “enjoy” reading. The book to me seemed like she was trying to get people to dig into their past too much and solve out more things to better their lives. Yes, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing but there were these exercises that didn’t seem so relevant and relatable. I guess maybe it’s me and I’m not interested in text like that so I probably wasn’t willing to open up to the lessons being taught. Besides all of the exercises I did think that the points she made were meaningful. For example, when she was discussing fear and distractions, both go hand in hand. You try to get over your fears but what is distracting you is that fear itself. There was some relevance to that. Also another point I agreed with was about balancing your life with you, by putting you first. You can get very far in life if you put yourself first rather than people you’re more focused on what you need to get done. If I had the chance to read the book again, I wouldn’t.
