Books The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life  by Twyla Tharp (Author)

The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life by Twyla Tharp is a practical guide to cultivating creativity as a disciplined daily habit rather than relying on moments of inspiration. Tharp, a celebrated dancer and choreographer, argues that creativity requires steady work, preparation, and commitment.

The book includes over thirty exercises designed to help readers build productive creative routines, overcome creative blocks, and harness everyday materials and memories for inspiration. Tharp emphasizes rituals, such as starting each day with a creative warm-up and organizing one's workspace, to make creativity automatic and sustainable. She encourages embracing vulnerability, defying conventions, and maintaining optimism in the face of uncertainty.
