"<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"This is a book about joy, drive and art, work that we're all capable of if we'll only commit." --Seth Godin, author of <em>Linchpin</em> </p><p>Public Radio International's Julie Burstein, creator of the award-winning program <em>Studio 360</em>, along with its host Kurt Andersen, offers a rare, fascinating glimpse into some of the 21st century's greatest creative minds--from Yo-Yo Ma and Robert Plant to Mira Nair and Chuck Close, to David Milch and Joyce Carol Oates, to Rosanne Cash and beyond. Fans of Malcolm Gladwell's <em>Outliers</em>, Daniel Pink's <em>A Whole New Mind</em>, Rosamund Zander's <em>The Art of Possibility</em>, and Lynda Barry's <em>What It Is</em> will be enthralled and electrified by this unique look at the creative process of the world's most talented and prolific artists. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Creativity is an elusive subject. We enjoy its fruits--movies, novels, paintings, songs--but rarely are we privy to what happens during the creative process. In <em>Spark</em>, Julie Burstein traces the roots of some of the twenty-first century's most influential and creative artists and thinkers, including Joyce Carol Oates, Yo-Yo Ma, David Milch, Isabel Allende, and Joshua Redman. Burstein pulls back the curtain to reveal the sources of these artists' inspiration and the processes that bring their work into being. </p><p>Creativity is integral to business, parenting, education, science, and, perhaps most poignantly, our personal relationships. Rarely do books on creativity illuminate <em>and</em> inspire; this marvelous volume will help you find a spark of your own. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Spark is a beautiful book, enjoyable and filled with life...You will find yourself contemplating the origin of the little lights, the sparks, which show themselves only when someone special looks within."--<em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em><br><br>"Through enlightening conversations, these creative individuals demonstrate how they lift raw materials out of familiar contexts and create art that changes how we perceive the world."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Burstein offers enlightening answers from the culture's heavy hitters, as well as the process by which they stoked these embers into a roaring fire, and how you, yes, you, might too."--Vanity Fair<br><br>"How better to learn about creativity than to talk with some of the world's most creative people."--Detroit Free Press<br><br>"Spark is an encyclopedia of inspiration plucked from today's most revered creators, leaving you not with a one-size-fits-all blueprint to creativity but with a petri dish of eclectic insights for you to distill, cross-pollinate and fertilize into a richer understanding of your own creative life."--Maria Popova, Brain Pickings<br><br>"This is a book about joy, drive and art, work that we're all capable of if we'll only commit."--Seth Godin, author of Linchpin<br>
