Penguin Press is the Penguin Random House imprint Ann Godoff founded in 2003, home to writers such as Ron Chernow and Michael Pollan. The author, Rick Rubin, has produced records for artists across nearly every genre, and what connects that work is less a signature sound than a way of working that helps artists find out who they are and what they have to offer.
This is a book about how to make things, for anyone who makes anything. Rubin's argument is that being an artist has less to do with what you produce than with your relationship to the world, and that everyone has access to it. It is written in short, meditative sections that can be read straight through or opened anywhere, which makes it a book to keep on a desk and return to. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller.
