not all art is required to be "realistic"--some art is mostly conceptual, cerebral. Magritte's work, for instance, is almost as fairly represented in large photo books as on the wall; but Hopper, absolutely not. no photo has ever done justice to a Hopper painting.

The latest Huberman Lab episode is with legendary producer and author of the book “The Creative Act: A Way of Being,” @RickRubin.
The episode focuses on the practical aspects of creativity, including questions and answers from the audience of Rick’s previous Huberman Lab appearance.
It’s a conversation that I believe everyone — musician, artist, scientist, teacher, parent, etc. can benefit from because it’s less focused on a particular craft than it is on the mindsets and daily routines that direct our minds toward our greatest levels of unique creativity and personal expression.
