About the Books
The Creative Act: A Way of Being is Rick Rubin's meditation on creativity as a way of life, not a rare talent reserved for artists. Drawing on decades producing some of the most influential music of the past forty years, Rubin frames creativity as noticing, listening, and trusting the process, offering short, reflective passages that read like daily guidance for musicians, writers, and entrepreneurs alike.
Creative Mind and Success, by early twentieth-century New Thought writer Wallace D. Wattles, argues that success begins in the mind before it appears in circumstances. Wattles lays out a practical philosophy for developing clear purpose, confidence, and consistent action, offering ideas that helped lay groundwork for today's personal-development literature.
The Science of Getting Rich, Wattles's best-known work, is a foundational text of the prosperity genre, later cited as an influence on modern bestsellers about wealth attraction. It sets out a step-by-step approach to thinking and acting intended to create financial opportunity, focusing on gratitude, definite purpose, and consistent effort rather than shortcuts or speculation.
Read together, the three books trace a throughline from creative mindset to purposeful action to material outcome, pairing a contemporary voice in Rubin with a historical foundation in Wattles. This collection brings together a widely discussed recent release with two enduring public-domain classics that continue to find new readers.
