Hab in den letzten Tagen genau die selben Interviews gesehen und freu mich auf das heute kommende Buch. Danke für das Video!

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Gerne! Viel Freude damit 🙏🏻

[@Burps___]

The audiobook is gold. Rick Rubin narrates himself. 📖 🎧

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Wasn’t aware of that - thanks!

[@andrewmarciano2449]

True!!

[@JimiCeleste]

I am reading this book now. I to knew there was a Rick Rubin, but I didn't really know what he did. Then I saw a podcast with Lex Fridman where he talked to Rick and I thought, "Wow! So this is Rick Rubin!" I am late to the game but I am here. Thank you for your content! You are MORE than a "nobody" from Germany.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thank you very much. Glad you found his work and connected with it 🙏🏻

[@MarceAndino]

I'm a musician from Argentina. I found out about this book today and felt very intrigued about it. I searched youtube and your video is the first one that popped up, or at least the one that caught my attention. Thank you for encouraging me to read it. Wow, isn't the internet a curious place? Big hug and keep up the good work!

[@BenjaminJaksch]

It is indeed my friend - thank you so much and glad you found it. Enjoy the book and making music!

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

It's a brilliant book... I found out about it about a month ago, I'm 3/4 of the way thru it, and it's already become, basically, my bible for life.

[@pilotofthemothership]

this video is greatly appreciated🙏🏾

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

The best book I've read in years... it's basically become my bible/instruction manual for life! Glad to hear it's impacted others the same way 😁✌

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Yes! I’m travelling at the moment and I’m sad I didn’t take it with me 😅

[@1w_u]

Thank you for this my friend, irrespective of how many subscribers you have you've made an impact on the viewers of this video. Speaking for myself, im excited to engage with the creative dojo today. Thank you :)

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thank you very much. Yes, it seems a lot has happened since I made this video - and I am glad I made It 🙏🏻 especially because it seems it moves people, and that’s why I’m doing it.

[@MrJballn]

Rick Rubin has been a name and the force behind so many acts I've been taken by that I've been aware of since I was 14 years old. This work for me feels like being let in to the truth I've been certain existed for all that time. Like self-help, but a confirmation as opposed to an affirmation.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

And that's why I think this "book" - or should I say "work" is really helpful and meaningful to me.

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Absolutely! I started loving his work even earlier - around 7 or 8. The book is a godsend!

[@TheKarateKidCode]

[@tommylg12]

Thanks very much for the great video...I’ve had an artistic block for quite some time...just 2 nights ago I digged out an old book I used to love...The art spirit by Robert henri....I was blown away when I seen a quote by Robert henri in the first page of the book! Synchronicity...I’ve ordered it now...keep up the great work👌🏼

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thank you very much 🙏🏻 Somehow it’s always the little things, right? We just need to find a way to recognise them…

[@salasbns]

Thank you for the inspiring video. I am a visual Creator and I think it applies to any creative practice. Thanks again.

Subscriber 410...love your take on this book...very timely message for me this week

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thanks 🙏🏻 glad the video helped 👌🏼

[@fibrofog3726]

Really good review. I've been reading, re-reading and listening to The Creative Act for a few months, it feels like a book that can only be properly reaped of it's contents through m a n y rereads, in different times and places. Hope the channel succeeds for you, this is good quality content.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thanks 🙏🏻 You’re right!

[@shadysoliman9280]

Thanks, very helpful review, good work

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thanks!

[@MattMcCreary2]

Appreciated this video, thanks !

[@BenjaminJaksch]

You’re welcome! Hope it helps.

[@kimjohnson5400]

Arrived here after People I Mostly Admire - Steve Levitt podcast. Need my own Dojo

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Did you hear about the book there? Oh I feel you!

[@LifeHackerCouple]

That’s was awesome Benjamin, Thanks a million for your thoughts on the book 📖 I’ll tell Rick you say hi 😊 keep going on your channel you got what it takes. It can be slow at the start but just watch every interview that Mrbeast has done if you want to mater the art of KZbin. Or just understand that attention is the key 🔑 if your videos can get 60%+ retention the algo will push you. Ok. Cheers mate

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thanks a lot for your kind words! That means a lot to me 🙏🏻 And I’m doing it because I love the craft. So if I’m getting better at it I feel very rewarded anyway 🙏🏻

[@LifeHackerCouple]

@@BenjaminJaksch your doing great! If you have the desire you have what it takes, period! you got this!🕊

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thanks!

[@andrewmarciano2449]

May the universe bless you :D

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Thank you mate!

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Good book in many ways, but at the end of the day as a failed artist, and failed musician... Despite achieving goals in the past. Currently I have to decide if I'm prepared to spend lots of hours writing, recording a song, doing a video, only for nobody to download it even if it's free. It's a book written from Rubin's viewpoint of being around successful artists to give them spiritual and motivational guide, if you're in a position where no one gives a toss, then this book is a pointless read. It's for people who are already getting stuff out there, and who may have doubts, it's about creating as a form of philosophy.

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Very good point. What helps you in your position then? Any good sources?

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

​​@@BenjaminJaksch Nothing works for me anymore.... I had to give up a large part of my creative life... I don't try to get heard of seen any more, the outlets dried up.... So you find other stuff that is fun to do. Rubin saying as a highly successful person that success is overrated, really grated and was the final straw for me with this book. Try having no success and see what that does to creativity...😮

[@robertschaffner3818]

bestellt 🙂

[@BenjaminJaksch]

Haha sehr gut!
