I think this is a book where you can find yourself relating to some of the experiences the author has had and what he gained from each experience.

Honestly it was just way too philosophical for me.

Not as powerful as his previous works, and pretty redundant to boot.

The book is a treasure trove of affirmations and inspiring quotes.
Some stories that accompany these quotes are very relatable, others are rife with humble bragging and name dropping, but I guess that comes with the author's vocation.
Some quotes that I’ve liked:
- We are either pushed by fear or pulled by love.
- Figuring out gaps in comparison to others is always going to be an endlessly miserable experience.
- When everything is going well and according to plan, we often sleepwalk through life, focused on our repetitpus days of routine and boredom.

DNF. I didn’t realize this was a memoir and I just wasn’t vibing with the memoir format. There was some nice takeaways; Maybe some takeaways that I haven’t got to since I DNF’d. If there had been takeaways that I missed it wouldn’t have been worth it because of the memoir format

This book reminds me of Quest Love's Book Creative Quest, where he discussed creativity and dissected it by sharing how other creatives work. While some can argue this book is a regurgitation of his last book. I beg to differ, I appreciate him diving deep into himself and putting himself on the platter. Sure, one can argue its egotistical, but I like to think we learn by example. I really appreciate the insight into the world of one creative mind and how despite all odds or how successful we become, we all have doubts. We all have worries. I appreciate the lessons he shared and the reminders he gave with the book and as a working artist I appreciate how he chose to put himself out there as the example and share his trials and tribulations. And just because something looks beautiful doesn't mean it isn't hard work and a mess.
