I wasn't in quite the right mood for this book (I've already been chewing on a lot of these ideas, and I really don't get into dance, which made up a good bit of the mastery discussion and took me back to a very uncomfortable ADF I attended in the early aughts), but I appreciate what Lewis is doing here. I also really like the concept of "nimble grit," the idea that persistence is incredibly valuable, but so is knowing when to pivot.

I was reading a book a month on creativity during 2020, and stalled on this one. It was definitely the most meaty of the lot - written from a very academic point of view with so much detail. However it does have a lot of fascinating points and I appreciated finding a book on this topic written by a woman of color. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don‘t overlook the subtitle of this book: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery.

As it turns out, the gift of failure is freedom.
