I think this book might help some people, but I was looking for more practical steps, particularly relative to modern times as we live in the age of the internet. I actually didn’t finish the book so maybe he gets to that toward the end? But, he includes a lot of stories about all kinds of famous and not-so-famous people who “made it” - from Michelangelo to Jeff Bezos. If that’s a way you enjoy learning, then you will enjoy this book and glean a lot from it, I’m sure. I’m not a history buff so I became worn out rather quickly of the constant stories coupled with so little information to readily act upon.To be fair, I did find one or two new things I’m implementing in my business now and he helped me see some things from different perspectives.So, overall, the book was ok. I would read another by him if it had less stories and more up-to-date actions an artist can take. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Useful For Art Students *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023* It was a good read with some useful advice. This would have been a great book to have in my high school days when I had thoughts of being an artist. I can highly recommend this tirlee. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ People will want to throw it at those who said, "you'll starve"! *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017* An epic page turning legend which will be on people's bookshelf for a life time. People will want to throw it at those who said, "you'll starve"! It sets the truth straight.When I first read the title, Real Artists Don't Starve (RADS), I automatically became defensive. Here's a book that's going to tell me what a "real" artist is and once again, I'll be labeled as "I am not a 'real' artist". You see, I was told after I graduated high school not to major in art because I wouldn't make any money, "I'd starve". So when I read the title it automatically triggered the moment I was told "no". Because in that first ever "no", in my mind labeled me as "not a real artist". If I couldn't make money at it. Then I wasn't good enough. Good enough to be "a real artist"!Now, I am a few steps ahead of Jeff in my creative process, only by years. I realize everything he states in RADS to be absolute truth. The amount of time, research and thought put in this masterpiece will be the knitting tool for a close knit community where all will be honored as creatives. No matter your creative process; a softball coach, physical therapist, sales person, entrepreneur, lunch lady, music teacher, photographer, dishwasher, yard guy, writer etc. All together we will be held in strength and courage carrying on to the next level of our creative journey. It's great to know I don't walk alone under such a myth having been told, "you'll starve"!Thanks to Jeff for the time put in this project. I shall not, I will not strive any further. I will thrive. Reading Real Artists Don't Starve has brought such clarity. It reminded me I am not hungry. I am an actual thriving artist.It helped me realize I am not being salesy by asking others to buy my works of art. That failing at book sales from last years self-published book, Under Contract: Life in the Middle of Dreams (which has a similar message in it as RADS but in a fictional verse novel way), release was not because it wasn't good. Rather I wasn't creating enough market hiding in hunger.After reading RADS the little apple on the front of the book makes me think of apple products, computers, phones etc. Steve Jobs. Jeff Goins is the Steve Jobs of this creative generation. An influential leader guiding so many towards success. Giving us the courage to stand up to our passions cultivating a realization we are all creatives waiting to be molded each step of the way, each season of life. By putting one foot in front of the other working in ways we were once told not to.Jeff is the king of creatives like Elvis is the king of rocking roll. I don't say that to worship Jeff because I don't worship idols. But I do celebrate those who are an instrument of the kingdom. And that my friends is what Jeff is an motivational influential leader instrumenting a reminder, through RADS, we all have something for the world. The world needs us! We were all created by the creator Himself, of course we are creatives.
