Description: "If you're focused on fame or exposure--any external outcome--it's easy to forget exactly why you started a creative endeavor. You feel pulled in every direction by your audience's expectations, you make compromises, and you end up with work that isn't authentic. But what if you ignore the external rewards of creativity and create only for an audience of one--yourself? Srinivas Rao, host of the wildly popular podcast Unmistakable Creative, argues that creativity for its own sake can unlock your best work and increase your sense of well-being. filled with stories of creatives who took this counterintuitive approach, An Audience of One is not about the value of creativity, but rather the joyful creative process. By adopting certain habits, routines, and rituals, you can live a vibrant creative life unhindered by the modern pressure to monetize your art. You'll gain a significance and purpose that can only be accessed when your creative expression becomes a lifelong daily practice"--Dust jacket.
