Great book for creatives

Todd does a great job explaining how create on demand professionals keep their creative tank healthy.

thorough, insightful and a powerful tool

i've listened to this audio book several times and have found the information very useful.

Good tips

"Common sense are not common actions" An statement said often and so true. It gives good advices to organize things, routines and focus your energy. You might not find it extraordinary, but says how to apply that common sense to everyday creative life.

Becoming and maintaining the Accidental Creative

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I have been listening to Todd Henry's excellent podcasts The Accidental Creative for over year. This book has some very helpful hints to generating creative ideas on a regular basis and optimal ways to managing your work/life balance.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Accidental Creative?

There are some nice real world stories that illustrate his points about his kids and people Todd has met.

What about Todd Henry’s performance did you like?

Since Todd is the voice behind his podcast series I knew his audio book would be a be a good listen, easy to understand and gives good advise in managing things.

Any additional comments?

Listen to this audio book and the podcast series The Accidental Creative as well.

University Paper Presentation

Yes you will learn one or two things from this book. He has made some good points and I feel proves his case. The argument and style is well laid out however, Todd Henry presents this book like a student presenting their paper to the class in a first year university course. He lacks the enthusiasm and style of his podcast and it becomes boring to listen too. He speaks well, but without personality. I think you would be better to read the book rather than listen to it. Todd I am sure will become a fine narrator in the future, but this I think is his first and lacks the experience and personality of his podcast and lectures. Good work and insightful just lacking the real Todd.

Exceptional

I enjoyed this book emensly. Full of useful philosophies and systems for the life of creative professional.

Great Ideas!
