desertcart.com: The Practice: Shipping Creative Work (Audible Audio Edition): Seth Godin, Seth Godin, Penguin Audio: Audible Books & Originals

Review: The indispensable guide to being a creator of work that matters - When I find myself in times of creative trouble, need some words of wisdom, and Mother Mary is a little preoccupied (see: date), I turn to my go-to books. The "Tao Te Ching" is always a good one. When I need the big guns — down with you, Resistance! — I call in Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" and "Going Pro." And now, there is a new book that combines aspects of all three: "The Practice", by Seth Godin. A main thrust of the book is to dismantle myths about creative output. Creativity is not a special talent reserved for the elect; you don't have to wait for the muse; wherever you are now is fine. You just have to get started and, above all, establish a regular practice (hence the title). Sure, a lot of what you produce will be dreck. That's okay, because in that big pile of dreck, a small fraction will be great. But you won't get the hits without the dreck. Early in the book, Seth serves us this list of what it means to establish a practice: "We can adopt a practice. Here are the surprising truths that have been hidden by our desire for those perfect outcomes, the ones industrial recipes promise but never quite deliver: Skill is not the same as talent. A good process can lead to good outcomes, but it doesn’t guarantee them. Perfectionism has nothing to do with being perfect. Reassurance is futile. Hubris is the opposite of trust. Attitudes are skills. There’s no such thing as writer’s block. Professionals produce with intent. Creativity is an act of leadership. Leaders are imposters. All criticism is not the same. We become creative when we ship the work. Good taste is a skill." That's a lot of wisdom in the space of 109 words, much of it counterintuitive, which Seth then unpacks in 8 sections. What does it mean to trust yourself, and to be generous with your art? How do you go pro? How important is intent? Are creative constraints good or bad? One by one, Seth dismantles the excuses and blocks creators unwittingly make up for themselves, such that by the end of the book, you just might say, "Hey, I think can do this, too." Each chapter is a short, memorable little nugget with anecdotes that stay with you. I especially appreciated the quotes from other wise people and the stories from great artists like Joni Mitchell about their creative process. This book felt like a jolt of concentrated wisdom, like one of Seth's workshops in written form. He's been walking the path of creativity and entrepreneurship for 4 decades and taught thousands of individuals, so what he shares in "The Practice" rings true to me. If you'd like to light up a booster rocket under your butt and establish a prolific practice of creating work that matters, "The Practice" is your indispensable guide and companion. It's my new go-to book for years to come. May you let it be a catalyst to *your* greatness. -- Ali Binazir, M.D., M.Phil., Happiness Engineer, executive coach, and author of The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible , the highest-rated dating book on desertcart for 7 years, and Should I Go to Medical School?: An Irreverent Guide to the Pros and Cons of a Career in Medicine
Review: Seth Godin's Magnum Opus on Creativity - A Professional Creator creates something and sells it to someone else. If you are a Professional Creator or aspire to be a Professional Creator, I definitely and highly recommend that you read, The Practice: Shipping Creative Work, by Seth Godin. Seth has spent more than 40 years being a Professional Creator and teaching others how to be a professional creator. In my opinion, this book is his magnum opus on how to be a professional creator. He provides tremendous breadth and depth on the life of being a Professional Creator. This book is like an organized stream of consciousness by a master who has been immersed in this topic his entire career. He provides his definition on words like art, practice, creativity, intention, generosity, and so much more. He does not lay out a step-by-step recipe, but rather a mindset. He talks passionately about the importance of trusting your self, your work, and your audience. He defies age-old myths like writer's block. This book zooms quickly and provides great depth on the key topics relevant to being a Professional Creator. I believe if you will dedicate yourself to this book for 3-4 hours you will work away with a new vision of your future, and a new belief in your ability to impact and change parts of the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The indispensable guide to being a creator of work that matters

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read, smaller than expected
*by C***E on April 8, 2025*

Although I have only started this book, I think the content is going to be good, encouraging, and helpful. I purchased the hardback because it was on sale and I thought I would enjoy a hardback for a change. I was surprised at the small size and font. While it is 252 pages, the book itself is a 5x7 - VERY small for a hardback. If I would have caught the size, I much would have paid the higher price for the paperback (6x9). The size, in my opinion, detracts from the content, making it difficult to sink into the message. Additionally, the pages are cream, which gives a dated feel. I was excited about getting the book and I've, sadly, hardly picked it up because the physical appearance doesn't say "grab me and read me." If the topic is of interest to you, I would definitely steer you to purchase the paperback!
