There are four parts to this book. They are alright. Not as well written as with Range. The first one tells you there is no such thing as passion. Then it’s about the importance of developing a skill. From there it is about having control of that skill and finally what to do with the skill. Not very complex. I am annoyed that books like these are actually successful. I would attribute this to the kind of education system, I think our universities subject us to. Learning to get a paper degree is not the way to go about your education is a topic to be covered in every college opening day orientation. But they don't do that. It is because of that that books like these succeed. The broader question the idea such as being a craftsperson is, what is your aspired craft you want skills in. In my case, architecture is not a craft it is a discipline. Every discipline will have skills that are necessary to perform within it. Mostly like every other bad education system it is only recently that I have started to recognize that skill development is more necessary than being informed about the latest facts about your profession. From any craft video, it is almost evident that to sustain that activity it is purely self-initiated. It is not a job but a making that you keep at. To pursue that on your own needs funding. Not everyone can pursue becoming a craftsperson if they cannot find funds to do that. It is very simple. That is where even the book I think is sketchy. Underneath it all it is selling a freelancer lifestyle is my lateral thinking pointing my gaze towards. Both the books are the same in principle about the mandate to find purpose. One says take your time the other is about finding a skill that you can capitalize on. It just seems different, is my position.
