The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life (Learn In and Use It for Life)

Twyla Tharp is a dancer and choreographer. She must be creative in order to produce new shows. She likes to be able to do the dances herself, and struggled when she was injured and could no longer show others exactly how to do things. However, that ended up being something that helped her to "let go."

The book dispenses with rather trite advice on creativity. You must work at doing creative things. You must also learn to identify when you are going down a bad path and stop. Know when you are in a rut and work on getting out of it. Have a routing. The advice felt straightforward, even if the examples felt a little "unique". (She would always get in a cab to work out.)
