Publisher Description
Wisdom and musings on creativity and life from one of the world’s most beloved musicians, producers, and mentors—the legendary multi-award-winner Quincy Jones
12 Notes is a self-development guide that will affirm that creativity is a calling that can and should be answered, no matter your age or experience. Drawing from his own life, and those of his many creative collaborators past and present, Quincy Jones presents readers with lessons that are hardworking and accessible yet speak to the passion of self-expression. He includes sections as deep as how to transform grief into power, and as practical as how to set goals and articulate intentions through daily affirmations.
Weaving his story throughout, Jones lets readers in on his own creative process, as well as the importance of letting honesty, hard work, and good relationships drive your career.
Customer Reviews
Engagingly inspiring
To hear what creativity means and how to utilize its potential from the likes of someone as Quincy Jones is truly something to behold. I couldn’t stop reading this book. It was just as engaging as reading his biography. Truly a worthy read!
Decent book
I wouldn’t say there’s anything, bits of advice, in this book that blew me away. Of course I’m 58 and have learned most of the life lessons imparted by Quincy just by putting in the years. This would be great for a younger person just getting a start in life. Still great stories from his life. A decent read.
