Creativity as a concept is quite close to my heart and so is creative living. Hence, this book The Creative Self: Beyond individualism by Gail Newman and Mari Ruti was a quick pick for me.

About the book, I would say it is the kind of book that you would read and then reread to get more and more understanding of the concepts. The main premise is about the antidote towards neoliberal self optimization in form of creative living. The book does have the vibe of academic writing. So when some concepts are simple, there are some where one needs to do some more reading too.

I would like to thank Netgalley for the advance digital copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
