This is a great book for creative (and thwarted creative) people at any stage in their development--from a young artist choosing a path to someone in a so-called mid-life crisis to a person reflecting back on a career now behind them. It helps you get the perspective of others on the feelings that you thought you were alone in having. It is a bit of a slow read at times, but if you've ever thought "I used to be so good at...." or "I thought I'd be so much farther by now," it's worth checking out.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.

A first purchase for all general nonfiction collection. It may not fly off the shelves, but every library is serving at least one creative who doesn't know how much they need to read this.
