About this listen

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success - it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer.

A Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Best Seller

Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition.

The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone: beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life.

Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis’s memorable “IDEA” system:

  • Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create - or become - in this world.
  • Design a daily practice that supports that dream - and a life of expression and transformation.
  • Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real.
  • Amplify your impact through a supportive community you’ll learn to grow and nurture.

As a professional designer I identified with all that Chase talked about in his book. It an exceptional listen with no filler. Just concrete ideas and practices.
It's packed full of stories and advice and would be useful for people in less creative job roles also.

I have no criticisms apart from I wish he wrote it earlier!

I very rarely listen to books more than once but I will listen again in a years time.

FYI I had not known of Chase before listening apart from one interview with Lewis Howes(which encouraged me to buy the audiobook). More established followers of his work may get less new information from it however it's always good to have healthy foundational ideas repeated.

Must read for all creatives

I'm at an inflection point in my life where I'm choosing to change paths and opt for one with a lot more creativity at the heart of it.

I'm excited about what is next and how 2020 plays out and for me, Chase Jarvis' book, Creative Calling is going to be playing a massive part in this.

The brilliance of this book lies in how Chase Jarvis tells his own story of his creative journey and uses that as a way to give life to the lessons he is imparting in the book. It's one of the few books on creativity, bar Austin Kleon's series of books and Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way that I can see myself coming back to as a reference to help me out when I'm stumbling with my creative journey.

If I were putting together a curated list of books on creativity, this book would definitely feature in there!

Since first listening to this book in January 2021 I have re-listened, in full, three times. Chase has an easy mentoring style which motivates and encourages without patronising or suggesting that there is quick fix. He is not offering the mirage of get fame/riches quick routes. What he is offering is exactly what is on the cover. I’ve put many of his suggestions to work already and seen my daily creative output start to significantly and meaningfully increase. I know I will return to this book and Chase’s mentoring again and again.

This is a book I will return to again and again

I really like Chase Jarvis, he's inspired my own creative work many times over the last few years. I've been encouraged by his 'hard friendly talks' and generally pushed to try and make more art. I got this book on day one and managed to get through it in a few days. The book is well read by Chase which always helps.

Whilst this book is good it's fairly shallow - the information is solid and foundational, things that every creator should be regularly reminded of but it doesn't go much further than that. If the book was half the length I don't think the content would have been reduced. If you are new to being creative then I would strongly recommend this book but for an 'intermediate' or 'advanced' artist check out the book 'Art And Fear' for a deeper exploration on the creative process.

It's also very auto-biographical, many of his points are backed up by his own personal successes and mistakes - the stories are told with humility, they're certainly not bad but as someone who had already heard these tales I got a bit bored. I wonder if the application of his points could have been widened if he didn't always talk about his own experiences. Lastly, I found the front cover to be dull, it looks like a sociology text book...

The book's good but not exceptional.

Solid.
