About the book
A guide to creativity built from his own career and from the many creators he has worked with, the book has Questlove gathering creative philosophies, lessons and stories in one place. Topics include what it means to be creative, finding a mentor and serving as an apprentice, keeping up a creative network, handling critics and the pitfalls of success, and the particular traps of contemporary culture. He passes on lessons from figures such as George Clinton and D'Angelo, and from artists including David Byrne, Ava DuVernay and Björk. His own work spans music, bandleading, design, production, food businesses and teaching. The guide addresses both longtime followers of his career and newcomers who do not yet know his story.
Jimmy Fallon endorsed it, saying Questlove masters whatever he sets out to do and that no one is better suited to write about creativity.

When Questlove says he’s going to do something, he will find out how to do whatever that is, and become a master at it. I can’t think of a person more suited to write a book about being creative.
