THE MEANING IN THE MAKING
A Philosophy for the Creative Life.
This book weaves together personal stories with the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual practices that help me stay mentally healthy, inspired, and motivated as a “maker of things.” While I may be known primarily as a photographer, this book is for anyone who creates — filmmakers, musicians, painters, performers, writers, and beyond. Whatever your chosen medium, I hope these ideas encourage you to stay connected to your craft, your curiosity, and your creative spirit.

I have read many classic books on psychology, personal development and human potential. This book by Sean Tucker is simply outstanding and beautiful on many levels. This book isn’t just for creatives, it’s for anyone remotely interested in themselves, life and creative expression. I feel this may be one of the most important books on being an authentic human being ever written. I highly recommend this book. I found it confronting, illuminating and it gave me many moments of profound joy.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID
MUST READ
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A must read for creatives, or anyone really. Sean’s talent as a preacher of the creative arts shines in this compact, but rich work. He applies a sensitivity and purposefulness to his search to finding meaning that it can only be compared to a monastic acolyte searching for god. Sean has a classical, near romantic approach to the artist’s life that is in much need of revival. This book deserves to be on the nightstand and end tables of everyone who reads, especially those who call themselves creatives or artists.

A certain classic
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
You can’t sum up the Meaning in the Making in a paragraph as it approaches the subject of creativity and it’s relationship to the creator from many different angles. It offers guidance, and advice, and importantly it all links back to Sean’s own experiences, many of which will be relatable to anyone who has tried creating anything. I have no doubt that this book will be reprinted and translated many times; it’s an essential book and I think will become a classic in the field
