Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Linchpin, Tribes, and The Dip comes an elegant little book that will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world.
Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward.
Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along.
With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

It’s not too late to make the jump.
The creative destruction of commodified jobs driven by cloud owners means a larger importance on leveraged creative individuals creating what machines can’t—human meaning.
You’re not going to fulfill your dreams by doing what everyone else is doing: namely being replaceable.
I recommend following along with both the audiobook and ebook so you’re not highlighting everything and you can focus on specific insights to you.

Creativity is something that is actually very practical and I see that now. Thank you Seth Godin!
