Scott Perry's handbook brings ancient Stoic wisdom to the creative process, built on the contrast in its subtitle between creatives driven by passion and artists driven by purpose. Perry asks readers to find the gift only they can offer by aligning their core values with their true talents, then to collaborate with and serve people who share those values and need those talents. The handbook opens with provocative assertions meant to shift mindset, lays out a process for setting the purpose of one's work, and closes on cultivating the mindset of a thriving artist. Each chapter starts with a motivational quote, explains one concept, and ends with a short exercise or two plus words of encouragement.
Seth Godin endorsed it, saying Perry shows readers another way to do work that matters and calling the time spent on it well spent.

Scott will open your eyes to a different way of doing work that matters. His generous, persistent, consistent belief in our ability to level up and contribute comes through. This is time well spent.
