The authenticity is great in this book. And the ideas are deep. It's another motivational "you-can" book, not a "how -to" book. This one is especially good if you're a worrier, as the author's struggles with that will resonate with you.Dec 12, 2017
“The same way a rocket needs to escape the gravitational pull of Earth to get into space, your art needs to escape the pull of ego to get into the world. You’re going to need some serious fuel to make that happen.†I’m a perennial fan of punchy, exhortative get-off-your-ass books such as Stephen Pressfield’s classics The War of Art and Turning Pro, Austin Kleon’s Steal Like an Artist, and Seth Godin’s entire oeuvre. This book by the creator of the Love Your Work podcast is a welcome addition “The same way a rocket needs to escape the gravitational pull of Earth to get into space, your art needs to escape the pull of ego to get into the world.

This is a truly valuable read for everyone who wants to start doing something he/she likes or feels passionate about.Jan 12, 2018

A quick read with lists of meat.Feb 02, 2018
A book to keep close everytime you think you cant make somthing.Aug 25, 2018
Based largely on anecdotes most of which through the author's conversation with other high profile creators on his own podcast - as opposed to academic research - I have to admit that this didn't make much of an impact with me. There were insightful snippets occasionally but not enough of them.Dec 31, 2017
Great adviceFeb 18, 2018
A good read to get you motivatedJan 09, 2019
I almost didn’t write this reviewJan 04, 2018
I was reading this book as I finished 2017 and started 2018. 2017 was a great year for me. I was able to focus on me, getting back in shape, meditating, journaling, and even doing a little bit of blogging. I'm ready to go further this year, and Heart to Start was a great segue for me. It's honest, practical, and full of great examples. It's a quick read too and pretty scannable. I feel like I'll be able to thumb through it again throughout the year to refresh my memory and keep on track.May 22, 2018
Engaging Book on Taking That First BOLD StepMay 11, 2018
Basically a faultless book. Precisely what the book promises in the cover and opening preface, it performs for the reader.Jan 02, 2019
While I’ve read a few books on overcoming the barriers to starting something - I enjoyed Kadavy’s candid telling of his own work highlights and experiences that illustrate each of the phases that impact getting you going on creating new art (or any new endeavor you’ve been putting off).Aug 28, 2019
A short ra-ra book that more than anything reinforces, “just do itâ€. I think the act of just reading a book like this, regardless of what is in it, will help people get going. Still though, some good ideas from an interesting author.Dec 28, 2018
Great motivational read!Oct 04, 2018
From the position of feeling the need for a new a paradigm shift I found myself in the book offered a welcome helping hand to gently nudge me away from the self-defeating idealization of daunting tasks that markedly defined my attitude towards creative endeavors and instead proposed an incremental kind and gradual self-expression spearheaded by the acceptance of the places creativity takes you to and of prioritizing exploration over exploitation.Jun 02, 2019

Great stuffJan 09, 2019
So, I think the advice in this book is fairly sound, but this author seems to be operating in a very masculine sphere, hanging out with his exclusively male buddy motivation gurus (having read a few of their books, they all seem to cite each other), untrammelled by family or other obligations, able to work for hours in the morning without any interruptions. Not saying that women researchers are overlooked, e.g. Carol Dweck is cited (of course!), but I think if I do read another book in this "get So, I think the advice in this book is fairly sound, but this author seems to be operating in a very masculine sphere, hanging out with his exclusively male buddy motivation gurus (having read a few of their books, they all seem to cite each other), untrammelled by family or other obligations, able to work for hours in the morning without any interruptions.

A good motivational “you can†book, not a “how to†book. David had delivers a clear, consice and precise message to create self awareness and cultivate strong will to start any project or task. Best wishes!Aug 12, 2019
OK, so in the spirit of not procrastinating and wasting time unecessarily, this review will be super-short.Mar 31, 2018
David tells a lot about his personal story and mental barriers that he dealt with before and while starting to write his bestselling book Design for Hackers. It's an interesting read backed by stories of other famous people.Sep 09, 2019
