How Artists Work

Book • 2013

Daily Rituals: How Artists Work is a book that delves into the daily routines and working habits of more than 161 highly successful and creative individuals.

The book, written by Mason Currey, provides insights into how these creatives structured their days to manage their work and personal lives.

It includes profiles of famous figures such as Anthony Trollope, Karl Marx, Woody Allen, Agatha Christie, and many others, highlighting their unique routines, habits, and quirks.

The book aims to show how grand creative visions are translated into small daily increments and how these routines influence the work itself.

It also explores broader themes such as the balance between comfort and creativity, and the importance of forming good habits to free the mind for more interesting fields of action.
