Summary with examples|The Creative Act |A Way of Being Book| by Rick Rubin


"For example, lock yourself in a separate room.


Art exists the same way in all things that inspire you, like music, seasons, beauty, and design. For instance, air is soft, which is why we like it, and girls are soft too, and we like them as well. Art is about creating something unique, something that doesn't exist in the world, through your talent and unique perspective. For example, an employee of Facebook created "quora.com" to make questions and answers available forever, a feature that Facebook lacks. We came into existence from nature, and things that seem attractive to us are trying to communicate with us to teach us the laws of nature. For example, we don't like raw mangoes much because they are not digestible, while ripe mangoes are eaten a lot. In this case, nature teaches us that food cooked slowly is tastier and healthier for us. The more you connect with your calling (nature), the more intelligent and creative you become. The things that excite you give you energy. You produce things and ideas according to the energy you have.


Doing work in a routine manner will not give you new insights because you are not exposing yourself to new things and are repeating the same scene. Art can be done in many ways. Play like a child in your field, see things from other people's perspectives. For example, I used to play "GTA Vice City" and thought it was the best game in the world. One day, I saw a friend playing "PUBG," so I played on his mobile, then I downloaded the online game "Free Fire" for mobile, and now I attest that it is the most addictive and unique game in the world. Since that day, I have never played "GTA games."


Conduct small experiments to confirm your concepts and check their potential before going big. Make your environment versatile, filled with attractive things, and change patterns. Search for clues around you; clues can give you new methods and are willing to reward you by helping you solve problems further (beautiful masterpieces, things, sounds, cinema, painting, sensations). Observing these things always gives us new insights because the world is constantly changing. Channel your frequency with the universe directly by avoiding the noise of the urban world; you can do this by sitting in a forest, for example. To get multiple insights, sit in gatherings or at busy places. We humans are the result of collaboration with others. Bathing in cold water can provide insights in solitude because the world is already hotter than before.


Get inspiration from everything that makes you happy. When you go outside, write down those things in your diary.


1. See things as they are, completely, as if you're seeing them for the first time. Avoid making judgments about how things should be, and you'll gain new insights.


2. Copy the work of your ideal or your inspiration. You are different, so your product will be different.


3. When stuck in a situation, produce ten different bad ideas; this can create a flow of ideas and lead to new ones.


4. Change your environment; work in a noisy environment like a coffee shop, office, or a beautiful place. Turn the lights off and play your favorite music on two different devices. Ideas are more likely to flow in such settings.


5. Imagine the most beautiful thing for yourself and try to come up with a solution.


Lastly, it can be challenging to explain a feeling for a thing or a person you have to someone else because you can't make them feel exactly as you do. Feelings are deeply personal and subjective, and they can vary greatly from person to person. So, while you can describe your feelings and try to convey them, it's important to acknowledge that others may interpret and experience those feelings differently.

"Principles" book summary

  Summary of the book "Principles" by Ray Dalio. The author, Ray Dalio, converts his life decisions into algorithms and wants to live in a computer program-like style. He judges the basis of his decisions and tells us the methods. (Note: Soon, I will give examples of principles from my life.) The first thing is to slow down your thinking while making a decision, then write the rule, explaining why you are making this decision happen in this way. He writes that assessment rule and calls it a principle, and then checks the effect on other activities and refines it further by applying it to more activities. For example, I give you an idea from my life: Activity 1: I can only think smartly or work properly on my blog if I am laying down with a soft couch below my head. So this is the rule of my maximum performance. Now I check it further. Activity 2: I teach kids (tuition) while sitting on a sofa or chair. I applied the rule of my activity 1. Now I teach them by laying down, couc...

The Tipping Point Book by Malcolm Gladwell - Summary and Review

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference Summary and Review When the popularity of a thing, idea, or people's opinion is widely accepted and becomes famous, like magic, that critical point is called the tipping point (an abrupt change happens here). "Make a thing so good and addictive that masses who see it once are compelled to share it with the world" - Malcolm calls it the "stickiness factor." For example, the TV show "Sesame Street" repeatedly shows a film to children, and after finishing the show, children are asked what they remember (stickiness factor). Accordingly, they cut the scenes that are less interesting, resulting in a great product. For instance, in 1984, 80,000 fax machines were sold in America at a cost of $2,000 per machine, while R&D spent millions of dollars manufacturing them. Slow growth continued for three years until 1987 when the magic happened - enough people had bought the fax machines, and the tipp...
