Twyla Tharp's book on creativity is probably one of my favourite books that I've read on creative habit. It's not at all shaming; it's not warm-fuzzy "we can do anything". She strikes the perfect balance between hard work and going for your dreams. Tharp doesn't buy into the creative vocabulary I'm used to, but invents her own, and I really jived with it. The creative exercises in the book are extremely valuable. She got me thinking about my own creativity in ways I didn't even know I needed to think.

While Tharp's book is slightly biased towards dance, but for me honestly adds to the book than being distracting to me. I'd recommend this to any creative, and plan to use it in my own teaching and mentoring in the creative realm.
