12 Notes

On Life and Creativity

De: Quincy Jones

Narrado por: JD Jackson, Quincy Jones

Wisdom and musings on creativity and life from one of the world’s most beloved musicians, producers, and mentors, 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 listeners 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 listeners in on his own creative process, as well as the importance of letting honesty, hard work, and good relationships drive your career.

Short. Pithy and Rich with Wisdom

Quincy Jones never fails to amaze and remind us that age is just a number. We can live full, active, and cerebral lives as long as we choose. We just gotta do the heavy lifting and stay curious.
Managing a band through harrowing conditions at age 26 is a feat for anyone. Surviving several near death experiences reminds us of the ephemeral nature of life.
Making it his duty to speak to people at all levels of the social economic ladder endeared him to me.
Each chapter was a revelation of his life journey; the doors that opened, the doors that closed, myriad life events, good and bad all helped shape the brilliant composer and human he is today. I'd like a Part B to this saga of a life well lived. Bravo!

Q Imparts a Lot of Wisdom

I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and acuity of the wisdom imparted by Mr. Jones in this book. I know he is a great musician and a mover and shaker, but I was unaware of how thoughtful and inspirational he could be as an author. Definitely, worth a read by aspiring artists and just plain humans.

Quite Good!

Some may list this book as self-help, but it's more than that really. Quincy not only give 12 lessons he's learned (12 Notes), but he also gives supporting evidence of each one. I want the real book, too, to be able to highlight and take notes.
