Not only is there a new album from The Roots in the pipeline, but Questlove also has a new book on the way. Titled Creative Quest, the latest book from the Philly musician is described as a “guide to living your best creative life,” and will be available April 24th, 2018 through Ecco. This will be Questlove’s fourth book, following previous titles Something to Food About, Mo’ Meta Blues and Soul Train.
Check out the full description, along with the cover, below.
In Creative Quest, Questlove synthesizes all the creative philosophies, lessons, and stories he’s heard from the many creators and collaborators in his life, and reflects on his own experience, to advise readers and fans on how to consider creativity and where to find it. He addresses many topics — what it means to be creative, how to find a mentor and serve as an apprentice, the wisdom of maintaining a creative network, coping with critics and the foibles of success, and the specific pitfalls of contemporary culture — all in the service of guiding admirers who have followed his career and newcomers not yet acquainted with his story.
Whether discussing his own life or channeling the lessons he’s learned from forefathers such as George Clinton, collaborators like D’Angelo, or like-minded artists including Ava DuVernay, David Byrne, Björk, and others, Questlove speaks with the candor and enthusiasm that fans have come to expect. Creative Quest is many things — above all, a wise and wide-ranging conversation around the eternal mystery of creativity.
