A unique new guide to creativity from Questlove--inspirations,
stories, and lessons on how to live your best creative life
Questlove--musician, bandleader, designer, producer, culinary
entrepreneur, professor, and all-around cultural omnivore--shares his
wisdom on the topics of inspiration and originality in a one-of-a-kind
guide to living your best creative life.
In Creative Quest, Questlove synthesizes all the creative
philosophies, lessons, and stories he's heard from the many creators and
collaborators in his life, and reflects on his own experience, to advise
readers and fans on how to consider creativity and where to find it. He
addresses many topics--what it means to be creative, how to find a
mentor and serve as an apprentice, the wisdom of maintaining a creative
network, coping with critics and the foibles of success, and the
specific pitfalls of contemporary culture--all in the service of guiding
admirers who have followed his career and newcomers not yet acquainted
with his story.
Whether discussing his own life or channeling the lessons he's learned
from forefathers such as George Clinton, collaborators like D'Angelo, or
like-minded artists including Ava DuVernay, David Byrne, Björk, and
others, Questlove speaks with the candor and enthusiasm that fans have
come to expect. Creative Quest is many things--above all, a wise and
wide-ranging conversation around the eternal mystery of creativity.
