Rick Rubin on the Creative Process

From the BIG THINK website, here's a look at a little creative wisdom from Rick Rubin.
Rick Rubin seems to be everywhere in the news these days. Indeed, he's been in the news for quite some time. As a co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, and as an internationally famous record producer of wildly diverse groups of artists, including The Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Adele, Metallica, the Cult, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Strokes, Weezer, Audioslave, Aerosmith, and Johnny Cash, to name just a few, there has been lots to write about him. He also produces a popular podcast, Broken Record with Rick Rubin, and he has also produced documentaries, including, McCartney 3,2,1.
And, though Rubin is not without his critics, this BIG THINK look into his take on "Unlocking the full potential of your creativity with holistic detachment" struck a chord with me. Check it out here.
