Publisher's summary

"James Victore is a dangerous man. His ideas on optimizing your creativity, doing wow work, and building a life that inspires will devastate your limits. And show you how to win. Read this book fast." (Robin Sharma, number one best-selling author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari)

Begin before you're ready.

Renowned designer and professional hell-raiser James Victore wants to drag you off your couch and throw you headfirst into a life of bold creativity. He'll guide you through all the twists, trials, and triumphs of starting your creative career, from finding your voice to picking the right moment to start a project (hint: It's now).

Bring your biggest, craziest, most revolutionary ideas, and he will give you the kick in the pants you need to make them real. No matter what industry or medium you work in, this book will help you live, work, and create freely and fearlessly.

Here are some dangerous ideas:

The things that made you weird as a kid make you great today.

  • Work is serious play.
  • Your ego can't dance.
  • The struggle is everything.
  • Freedom is something you take.
  • There ain't no rules.

Take a risk. Try them out. Live dangerously.

Critic reviews

“There are five books that are so important in what they have to say that I gift them to others. Now, there are six.” (David Hieatt, cofounder of The Do Lectures and Hiut Denim Co.)

“In James Victore’s new book, he unequivocally proves why he is the master he is. In every chapter, he challenges and inspires the reader to reach for more, to try harder, and to create our best selves. It is a magnificent and momentous experience. (All true.)” (Debbie Millman, host of Design Matters)

“Over the past decade, James has served as a constant reminder for me to have the courage and the audacity to be my weird self. Feck Perfuction is a beautiful case study into why so many of us have found our life’s work when we are our most authentic and when we get comfortable with being our most uncomfortable. Ignore this book at your peril.” (Harley Finkelstein, COO of Shopify)

Amazing

This book could not have come at a better time of my life. I wish I I had found it 5 or 10 years earlier. I found it so relevant I am going to listen to it again. I am in the process of trying to rekindle my wasted and desperate to be used artistic skills and change my career direction in that path. Amazing!

Short, sweet and words to remember

This is a quick listen that will help you move your tail into the future you have always dreamed of having. so grab your headphones and take a few long walks while you listen in on words of wisdom that might be a bit uncomfortable to some, but will help you make a world of change of you let it.

Sometimes writers make great narrators... this is one of those cases.

Great book

I wish this book was longer! There is so much knowledge in this short book that I’m left wanting more - like a kid pulled off of the bottle before I’m full! Masterpiece!

Will definitely shake you

This isn’t your typical motivational speech. Victore gives a pragmatic approach on how to navigate life, find your creativity and most importantly how to find yourself.

A must read for anyone regardless of your stage in life or profession.

Thank you Mr. Victore!!!

A life changing weekend book.

I’m a 20 years experience talented designer and after a long journey of success and failure, trying to relaunch my career after a break to start a family of 4, I got the pleasure to listen to this book over the weekend while dish washing and folding clothes. It’s full of mind blowing ideas and truth that we never face ourselves with as creatives and artists. For anyone who wants to enjoy a bold true bright future this book is for you. I love it that Victors is narrating the book himself which makes sense knowing him. It could not be anything else.
It’s a designer artist life changing book. Don’t miss it. Love you James Victore!!

Self-doubt killer

Everywhere I go, I give a big shout out to James and his book. I’ve been through a lot of life lately, and the confidence and joy to just be myself is noticeable. My conducting is relaxed and my creativity in teaching group keyboard classes is fun. Literally, it is such a relief to have ‘fun’ as one of my goals. James love for people and his family, especially his wife, makes me smile.

Fabulous book not just creatives

This book spoke to me on so many levels. I now require it as a must read with my clients (artists) in my Art Business Consulting. I’ve seen James’ work though the years including courses, he’s a fabulous teacher and hits the nail on the head. He shares his journey and approach to life in a relatable way.
