Not as powerful as his previous works, and pretty redundant to boot.

The book is a treasure trove of affirmations and inspiring quotes.

Some stories that accompany these quotes are very relatable, others are rife with humble bragging and name dropping, but I guess that comes with the author's vocation.

Some quotes that I’ve liked:
- We are either pushed by fear or pulled by love.
- Figuring out gaps in comparison to others is always going to be an endlessly miserable experience.
- When everything is going well and according to plan, we often sleepwalk through life, focused on our repetitpus days of routine and boredom.

This book reminds me of Quest Love's Book Creative Quest, where he discussed creativity and dissected it by sharing how other creatives work. While some can argue this book is a regurgitation of his last book. I beg to differ, I appreciate him diving deep into himself and putting himself on the platter. Sure, one can argue its egotistical, but I like to think we learn by example. I really appreciate the insight into the world of one creative mind and how despite all odds or how successful we become, we all have doubts. We all have worries. I appreciate the lessons he shared and the reminders he gave with the book and as a working artist I appreciate how he chose to put himself out there as the example and share his trials and tribulations. And just because something looks beautiful doesn't mean it isn't hard work and a mess.

After starting off last year with a pretty good mix of genres as far as books I was reading went, my non-fiction/self-help output went all to shit by the end of the year. So I decided to start 2020 off trying to make up for this. This book popped into the new arrivals from my library, and so I figured why not give it a shot.

There isn't a lot of new information presented in this book, but the things it does mention, while being pretty common sense (at least to me), it was presented in a very accessible way. I think a lot of people will be able to take away if not new things to think about, but perhaps a new way to look at those things.

And while there is a fair bit of name dropping in this book, it does so in a very unobtrusive way, so instead of the reader thinking 'Ugh, not another celebrity' we're given a pearl of wisdom that person gave to Humble, how Humble applied it to his life, and then how you can apply it to yours. And they are messages that are totally doable for the everyday person, and not dependent on money or personality type or anything else that may set a famous person aside from someone who works 3 jobs just to keep food on the table or a roof over their heads.

I think the best part of the book is the conversational nature of the writing. It doesn't preach at you, which happens in a lot of self-help books. It very much comes across as if the reader is sitting on a couch with Humble, or across a table at a coffee shop of diner, just having a conversation about life. Preachy self-help books just get my hackles up, and this book does nothing of the sort. It feels like it comes from the heart.

As I said, there is nothing new in this book, but it's all in the presentation. Humble has a voice that I appreciate, and I think a lot of other people will as well.
