This captivating book delves into the intricate realm of Paul McCartney's creative practice, spanning his extensive career as a songwriter, record producer, and performing musician. It offers a fresh perspective by framing its examination through the lens of the systems model of creativity developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, complemented by the research of Pierre Bourdieu.

This engaging work possesses interdisciplinary appeal, captivating students and scholars of psychology of creativity, popular music, sociology, and cultural studies alike.
