I would like to share The Meaning in the Making: The Why and How Behind Our Human Need to Create a book written Sean Tucker I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
The Meaning in the Making: The Why and How Behind Our Human Need to Create is a interesting Self-Help book that kept me wanting to learn more from the Author. I liked knowing the book is broken down into sections as I can read the book all at once or a section or two a day. Giving me time to reflect on what I was reading.
Throughout The Meaning in the Making: The Why and How Behind Our Human Need to Create I found things I couldn’t wait to share with my friends and family. I like that this is a paper book that is the perfect size to slip into a tote bag or my purse to take with me when I am out and about.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to read The Meaning in the Making: The Why and How Behind Our Human Need to Create . I hope you do soon because your going to learn so much from the Author that you might never have thought of before.
About:
Become inspired, find your voice, and create work that matters.
Why are human beings driven to make?
It’s as if we collectively intuited, long before Science gave us the language, that the universe bends toward entropy, and every act of creation on our part is an act of defiance in the face of that evolving disorder.
When we pick up a paintbrush, or compose elements through our camera viewfinders, or press fingers into wet clay to wrestle form from a shapeless lump, we are bending things back toward Order and wrestling them from Chaos.
But making things is often not enough.
We also want the things we make to be filled with meaning. We’re each trying to describe what we know about life, to create a collective sense of “safety in numbers.” When we reach the end of our traditional descriptive powers, it’s time to weave collective meaning from poetry, painting, writing, dancing, photographing, filmmaking, storytelling, singing, animating, designing, performing, carving, sculpting, and a million other ways we daily create Order out of the Chaos and share it with each other for comfort.
On this journey we need a creative philosophy which will help us find our voice, discover our message, deal with the responses to our work, maintain inspiration, and stay mentally healthy and motivated creators as we strive to find “the meaning in the making.”
