could not have chosen a better narrator

Mr. Scott gave an excellent performance and this is a novel I'll be thinking about forever.

caused me to question my perception of myself

Revisado: 12-18-19

I can't understand why the other reviews are negative. This book gave me so much to think about, and I didn't find the author irritating in the least. He has a clinical tone, but that's to be expected from a psychiatrist.

I recently started on an antidepressant, and found that it made me feel better than my usual self: I have more energy, fewer worries, more fantastical dreams. This caused me to wonder if I've been depressed my whole life, or if this drug was giving me superpowers. Moreover, I wondered, what is this drug taking from me? How is my personality and sense of self entangled with my anxieties? This book doesn't have all the answers, but it certainly validated my concerns and gave me more information on the topic. Dr. Kramer seems to be wondering all the same things about the ethical implications of SSRIs, which is both deeply disturbing and endlessly thought provoking.

I would listen to this book a second time through.

My favorite book from Audible so far

Revisado: 01-03-19

I've been devouring every artist biography on Audible over the past 2 years, and this is by far my favorite. I've read separate biographies about each of the artists mentioned in this book, but reading about their rivalries and friendships with one another makes the material much more personal and memorable. love it so much

Lovably Predictable

Revisado: 12-01-18

The plot is a familiar boy meets girl story with a predictable conflict and resolution, but it's well written, engaging, and wonderfully performed by Griffin Newman.
Theres nothing groundbreaking about this novel, but I'm ok with that. It was cozy, comfortable, and a fun way to pass the time.

inspiring read

Revisado: 06-14-18

great read! I'm an artist and it is very helpful to reframe my work as /work/. Pressfield's concept of "resistance" is a great way to analyze self sabotage. I think this is one I'll be rereading again and again.

insufferable

Revisado: 06-12-18

I have a bachelor's degree in fine art, so I'm very well versed in art history and Duchamp himself. I can tolerate a bit of stuffy art lingo, but this goes beyond jargon into utter nonsense. I really mean it; this book is crazytown. do not waste your money. I could not decipher even a single sentence.

Down to earth message. Supurb delivery!

Revisado: 08-31-17

I've listened to a few different self help books for creatives, but this one is my favorite! The advice is nothing I haven't heard before, but somehow, I never took it to heart until listening to this audio book. Todd Brison has a very conversational reading style that makes it feel like you're receiving advice from a friend or peer. He's sincere, funny, and just a tad self depricating. :) would recommend to any creative, whether you're just starting out or a jaded veteran.

so comforting!

Revisado: 07-30-17

if you enjoy murder she wrote, you will enjoy this book. it has all of the comforting familiarity of the TV show, and the voice acting is wonderful. And there is even a delightful twist ;)

worthwhile

Revisado: 05-31-17

This was an informative read. Nothing blew my skirt up, but Carey has some level-headed points. Its always nice to hear a fine art career broken down into steps, just like any other career. It takes long hours and persistence to make money, and even more persistence if your product is as ephemeral as "hugging a stranger" like Carey and his wife. It's honestly amazing that he can make a living doing performance art, but apparently if you follow his advice, you could have a chance too.
