The Practice
Shipping Creative Work
Book • 2020
In 'The Practice', Seth Godin emphasizes the importance of consistent creative work and the process of creation over the outcome.
The book argues that creativity is a choice driven by the desire to find new truths, solve problems, and serve others.
Godin insists that the practice itself is the output, and it is what we can control.
He encourages readers to trust the process, commit to the journey, and embrace discomfort and potential failure as part of the creative process.
The book also highlights the importance of generosity and serving others through one's work, and it discourages the pursuit of external validation and outcomes.
