About this audiobook

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 Bestseller **

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.

I was first introduced to Chase Jarvis when I saw him on the Rich Roll podcast and was immediately drawn to discover him farther. In the podcast his book was a discussion topic, so I sought out the book. I purchased the audio book so I could listen and create my art (creative calling) at the same time. This is a very inspirational book, and not the typical book where you've already heard it all before. It gave me the confidence to go for it! I'm using the ideas he's built to get me started, and eventually work for myself once I have a body of work, a community, a website and strong social media presence. I devoured this audiobook and was happy to hear he was holding an online 6 week book club seminar for free! The seminar holds so much value as he interacts with the members so conditionally. I feel most people wouldn't go this extra mile. He genuinely cares about the life goals of others. 100% recommend purchasing his book if you're feeling stuck, and know you have a purpose in life worth pursuing. Like he say, we only have one precious life. I'm tired of living by someone else's means. Time to dream for myself!

Creating Calling is a must-read for any creative individual looking for an in-depth look into establishing a better connection with your creative self and gain realistic practices to get towards your creative efforts. Chase talks about his career in professional photography, created the Best Camera application, and running the online education platform CreativeLive. The content in this book is honest, authentic, blunt, and extremely useful. This book gets five stars from me! A must have indeed.
