In the spirit of PRD's inaugural theme of "creativity", I've included two of my favorite books on the topic. In the future, this section will include segments such as the Sharing of experiences, advice, resources, and stories from creatives around the world. For now, my favs.
I love this book. I bought both a hardcopy (from a local bookstore) and an Audible version the day it came out. My hardcopy is brimming with sticky notes and I've had pens run out from the notes I've taken from (and in) it so far. It reads like a soundbite factory of life advice for the creative soul...in all the right ways.
I've read and listened to it multiple times end-to-end + dip in-and-out for references almost weekly. It's one of my favorites for sure - maybe you'll like it too.
