Rick Rubin's The Creative Habit, George Saunders' A Swim in the Pond in the Rain, and Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. Three books that explain how creativity, storytelling, and visual narrative actually work.
These 3 books will immediately boost your creativity. Number 1, The Creative Habit by Rick Rubin. Rick Rubin is a legend in the music business, and this is a really interesting set of philosophies and insights to help you become more creative. Number 2, A Swim in the Pond in the Rain by George Saunders, the great novelist and short story writer. This is a book that gives you a brilliant way to understand stories and what they are and how they work. And finally, one of my all-time favorites, Understanding Comics. This book is actually written as a comic, and it shows you how do comics actually work, how do we understand them, and what makes them so alive. Look at these 3 books, read them, think about them, and you're going to get an immediate shot in the arm for your creativity.
