New York Times bestseller!
Blade never asked for a life of the rich and famous. In fact, heâd give anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback.

The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father.
In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love heâs been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift.

From one of the co-founders of Pixar Animation Studiosâthe Academy Awardâwinning studio behind Coco, Inside Out, and Toy Storyâcomes an incisive book about creativity in business and leadership for readers of Daniel Pink, Tom Peters, and Chip and Dan Heath.
Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animationâinto the meetings, postmortems, and âBraintrustâ sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about how to build a creative cultureâbut it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, âan expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.â
For nearly twenty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, WALL-E, and Inside Out, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner thirty Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admiredâand so profitable.
