About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the best-selling author of Purple Cow and This Is Marketing comes an elegant book that will inspire artists, writers and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward.

Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along.

With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

His piercing, minimalist insight gets me everytime. Like a trusted friend telling you that dress is not your colour, you know they are right even if it stings a little. He manages to tell you exactly what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. I now know creativity, relevance and significance will not appear on my doorstep as a mirage, but can be manufactured by showing up. I'm off to make a ruckus.

Like a fine wine, Seth gets better with age! Better at giving to the world and better at making a deep contribution.

This is my favourite book of Seth’s. I listen on repeat when I’m in a creative project or writing a book. It reminds me to be brave. To show up and do the work. To make my art. And to ship it. A must for anyone who wants to bring their best work to the world.

Must for all creatives

I haven’t know Seth all my life, but in the last couple of years his books and events with him have popped up in my life and every time I finish a book or an event with him I’m inspired for change and opportunities.

The Practice is no different. It’s a great checklist to what we need to do to become better and better at what we love to do and get rewarded for it.

Thank you, Seth

I love Seth!

Really enjoyed this book. It felt both inspiring and focussed (unlike some of Seth's other recent books).

One of Godin's best audiobooks.

I've read quite a few Seth's books, perhaps I'm not his audience anymore. There was very little new in this book for me and I really struggled to find a red thread..

All over the place, not much new

He has never practiced this book is a scam

I Learned NOTHING
