The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp teaches a lot about creativity and how to become more creative. It gives you many exercises to try out on your own. Everyone should take the time to try out at least some of these exercises. This book explains all the little details about creativity. It explains where you should start, how to deal with failure, how to not be fearful of your creativity, and so many more.
We can gain a lot from Twyla Tharp's book. Twyla Tharp is a creative person. People could look at her and be amazed by what she creates and some can be intimidated by it. She was not born this way. Yes she could have been born with some talent but that is not enough to make her who she is today. She believed in herself, she practiced, and I think most importantly, she failed. But she did not give up when she failed, she learned from her failure. That is what makes her different from so many other people in this world.
People do not like to admit when they have failed. Or when they do fail they try to push it away and hid it so people do not see. Another thing people do is when they practice they work on things they already are good at, not what needs improving. From this book we can learn not to do these things. We can try to learn to admit when we are wrong and learn from our mistakes.
Creativity to me, after reading this book, symbolizes something that is always a work in progress to be maintained. It is something that needs to be embraced at a young age and not destroyed. Creativity is showing the world who you really are and what you really think. That is what makes it so scary to be creative. You do not what to be judged on who you really are and what you think. But this book tells you how to deal with that fear. Everyone should read this book, I really enjoyed it.
