About this audiobook

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success – it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture?  No longer.

** A Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Bestseller **

Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition.  

The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill—it's a habit available to everyone:  beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life.

Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis’s memorable “IDEA” system: 

  • Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create—or become—in this world.
  • Design a daily practice that supports that dream—and a life of expression and transformation.
  • Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real.
  • Amplify your impact through a supportive community you’ll learn to grow and nurture.

    Another good self-help sort of book. Again, too much "just start" - but what does that actually look like? Gives these tips in a way that is just "do it because that's what will happen". Still very helpful and worth a listen to. Read Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" and Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic" before listening / reading this book.

    Likely, you will have heard much of what's in here before, but maybe not quite exactly in this way. I found this to be an good motivation and encouragement for people who are wired to create in any medium. The author is a professional photographer, but if you feel a calling to make stuff - regardless of whether you draw, sculpt, write, bake, build or anything else, you will find something of use to you in here.This isn't so much a how-to-do manual--if you want to learn a creative skill, figure out which medium is best suited to you, or how to develop a creative style/voice, this won't do that. What it will do is silence the doubt that you're good enough and give you tips on how to produce more stuff, fight through doubt that leads to creative blocks and seek people who encourage rather than discourage your creative outlets and outputs.Recommended!

    I think I enjoyed the first half of this more than the second which was mostly about getting out in the world (the word launch was used a lot). I like his ideas around creating a practice and making, but I’m not sure about the rest. He seems genuine though perhaps a bit dude bro (Tim Ferriss was name checked a lot which is a red flag for me).

    An Interesting boo with some pointers on how to live a creative life. I don't like the language used with the expletives. We can do better even as creatives Mr. Jarvis.
