This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This book has a lot of the standard "You can do it! Get there and get it!" without giving any real practical advice. It's also very dated.

What made the experience of listening to Six-Figure Musician: How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business the most enjoyable?
The music industry has changed from the days of the record labels being in charge of everything. Your success is not dependent on them alone anymore.

The audible.com version has a great appendix packed with information and an interview with the author.
What did you learn from Six-Figure Musician: How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business that you would use in your daily life?
That it is not about you, but about making your audience feel good, that is the business we are in. The business is also not only about selling music, it is about engaging with your audience and making them feel good.

This is a magic bullet for how to make it
Any additional comments?
The six figure musican is an all encompassing, psychologically educating approach to what you need to be successful in music. While there are some blatant explanations on what to do, when and where to do it, this is a book focusing on the "why" to do it. You will learn to connect better with fans, time management gems, and amazing promotion and marketing ideas, just to name a few. Whether you are starting out, getting started again (like me) or need to get to the next level, this is for you.

Generic motivational advice
A bit too motivational and ambiguous. There are so many books like this and this one is not special or useful. Nobody with some sense doesn’t need this book to figure out what this book advices. Ari’s book on how to make it in music business is way better in terms of giving practical and specific advice.

Informative
If you are just starting out, this is a nice listen. Gives great overall theory about how to approach a music career in our current times. If you've been working in the industry even a little bit, this book probably won't be very helpful.
As I mentioned, most of it is concept and theory, without a ton of practical steps to take that you haven't already heard. There were a few golden nuggets in the last 15 minutes which I appreciated, but otherwise, for me personally, a lot of time wasted.
The narrator kinda killed it for me too, wish the author would've read it himself.

It was good
This book was good but not great for beginners. I felt like it lacked some of the practical skills to start from the beginning. it is probably best suited to a band or artist who already has an album worth of songs and are playing at least at their local pub on the weekend. This book will give you the skills to expand your gig opportunities, make some decent cash and to distribute your cds and merch. However if you are a beginner trying to get your first album written, land your first gig or start your promoter contact network then this book is a bit of a leap.

Deebee Bishop a suitcase of homework
David Hooper has certainly worked hard preparing this book. There is nothing startling, in fact most of the info I’ve read before. But to have it all in one book is great. Well worth a listen.
One thing to note… in my opinion money is always second best when it comes to being a creative.
Not everything has to do with what will increase income.

Story
Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.
