I thoroughly enjoyed this. Except the part about AI which I'll never agree to. But everything else is alright. I just don't like AI. I miss the times where our children in or coming out of high school could get a job at a retail store of some kind. Sure they still can but the jobs are fewer and fewer and so impersonal filling out applications online instead of in person. I prefer definition 2 of impersonal. I feel like we don't even really exist as people anymore. Just dollar signs to be exploited. These are just my personal feelings about AI. I miss people. I don't like going to a grocery store and then being pointed in the direction of some machine. Then it's like we've become unpaid employees. Checking ourselves out.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Possibly the best audible book I've listened to.

I highly recommend it. Rick Rubin is the mentor that everyone needs. His voice is very soothing. His knowledge shows his masterful experience and by listening to him I understand why there is so much success. He's looking to get the best out of his artists and when listening to him I can truly feel the greatness that will be unlocked. There is not a doubt in my mind. This book is pure gold and then some. People that don't get this book will truly miss out on something really great.
