Free Book: Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t (by Steven Pressfield)

Steven Pressfield, popular author on the creative process, just gave away his latest book.  Get a free digital copy of “Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t” by clicking here (Available in formats for Kindle/Nook/iTunes/PDF/etc.).

Why get the book?  Because Steven Pressfield has done an amazing job of addressing the problems that plague creative folks, from pianists to playwrights.  His most popular book, The War of Art, is worth buying right now (or getting from your local library).  Each chapter is a page or two long, super interesting, and will result in multiple ‘a ha’ moments.

The new book is similarly good (I’m a third of the way through right now).

How does this apply to guitar?

Take all of his advice for writers, actors, advertisers, and artists, and simply apply it to your craft.  Re-title the book (in your head):  “Nobody Wants to Listen to Your Sh*t“.  Lessons that apply:

• People have to much to listen to.  If you want to be heard, refine your idea to it’s most powerful, concise essence. (Chapter 4)
• Sometimes your ego is in the way of you making money. (Chapter 6)
• The right type of idea leads to more than a single riff, song, or album. (Chapter 13)
