Written simply but with punch, and with great typography and graphics to boot. Something to spur on (what's left of) my creative streak. The quote that spoke to me the most, was 'Don't seek praise. Seek criticism.' [Note: This book's Amazon reviews tend to swing to extremes. I like it, but it may not be for the risk-averse or the cynical. You don't need a background in the creative industry to appreciate his advice, but it may help you relate better to it.]
