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.

Great Content, Bad messenger
The book answered and informed me way beyond what I was thinking. I will buy the physical copy to accompany my listening. It did leave me with more questions that are very specific to my situation but I have not listened to the 2nd book Run Your Music Business yet to see if the answer is there.
Side note: The performance was hot trash. Nader Nadernejad is a lazy ass dude who did not trim up audio or even take out mistakes. At one point he mispronounced then reread before getting the sentence right. Also the audio quality fluctuated between terrible and alright.

I am a stand alone musician and want to know how to be my own boss legally. It provided a ton of info on partnerships and creating corporations too, which wasn’t as particular for me, but that’s because Audrey spells out all of your possible options. I’m excited about the next book! I feel like what I have to do was probably laid out exactly, but I’ll have to listen through again just to make sure I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing
