This book is not only a great quick read but it's a very much needed kick in the pants for all of us repressed artist. Bennu pulls no punches and lays it down. It's not what you say but what you do, what you produce, what you create.

Bennu is also a film maker and one of his shorts can viewed in the film section of artprotein.com an underground artist community online.

Everyone should read this book! I would very much recommend it.

Bennu gets it. And this book, as he warns in the beginning, is lean and mean -- if you're used to filling up your reading time with fluff, then get a magazine as a companion, because the author gets right to the point. And this is really the message of the book, get to the point in your life.

The writing style, the format, and the form are all perfect metaphors for the message, and once you've had a read, you'll get it too. The best thing about it, is that not only does it ring truth, but it's easy to see that Bennu wants to share honesty with you, and if you're open to be honest with yourself, then this book will reach you instantly, and you'll find yourself getting right to the point of your own life.

Tired of reading through all the Zen-like musings of writing books to get to the meat of the message? Just need a quick pick-me-up to get you back on the artistic horse or to break your Writers' Block? This book will likely do it for you in a pinch.
Stripping away the science and mirrors of most self-help writing books, this one unapologetically just gives you what you need to hear right after a rejection or right before you blow off another hour you could have spent creating something by playing video games.

Solid, if a little too loose in some passages to be taken wholly seriously. A greta motivator in any artist's case.

Neat, petite, and powerful. This artist friendly book is imbued with good feeling. Buy it. Buy it for a friend and they'll know you love them.

I loved this book! Totally inspiring and motivating. A friend gave it to me and I bought ten more copies and gave them to my good friends as Holiday gifts. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone, whether you're on the fence or not!

A friend sent me this one in the mail. I read it that night and have been carrying it with me since! It's Concise, useful and to the point, not to mention highly motivating for the self motivating person who's push is slipping a little or alot! A must for ALL progressive people and artist everywhere!

I bought this in 2006 and I use it as a portable pep talk when I'm working on personal projects. I have reread it several times and it's always useful. I think everyone, not just artistic types, should have a copy. Absolutely, great book, with useful advice.
