Master the Creative Process | Twyla Tharp

Twyla Tharp is a world-renowned dancer, choreographer and expert on
the creative process. She explains how to achieve creative success
by keeping a highly disciplined routine that ultimately allows you
to bring your creative visions to life. She explains how to
establish a central message for each project, how to think about
your audience, navigate criticism and continually elevate your
standards with daily actions. We discuss how one's view of hard
work, competition and even your name can shape what you think
you're capable of and ultimately achieve. This episode offers
direct, practical advice from a world-class creator on how to
access your inner vision, build a strong body and mind, and do your
best work. Show notes: https://go.hubermanlab.com/Yx57rWq Thank you
