Shut Your Monkey: How to Control Your Inner Critic and Get More Done by Danny Gregory

5.0

I first read this book around age 20 in college, second-guessing every creative urge in my body. It held up to a re-reading. I love this book. It doesn’t wax poetic but also doesn’t make creativity a mere act of production. I love that he writes about sculpting the same way he writes about burger flipping. There are no right answers, only monkeys to overcome.

An excellent, illuminated read.
