Stories with a bland narrator
Interesting stories about famous artists and their own (often highly eccentric) success stories, but not as useful to aspiring artists as the blurb makes out. Very financially driven, with a particularly tedious American bloke narrating the entire thing.

Great tips but monotone to listen
Needed to put the speed up to 1.3 and then was able to listen as otherwise it was unbearably monotonous. Amazing tips tho and will listen again soon

Same stuff again
Firstly, this seems to be read by AI. It’s an unnatural and tedious voice that makes listening difficult. I had to stop.
The content is ok, but amounts to the usual story of a lucky artist who assumes the same luck awaits everyone else. They present strategies that worked for them and might work for others, but in the telling it just sounds like someone who is very pleased with themselves sharing stories of their luck. Unhelpful if you’re at a low point in your ‘career’ as an artist. Beware if you’re looking to this book for answers when you’re at bottom. It could make you bitter and angry (as it did me). Try ‘Art & Fear’ instead. It’s positive and not driven by the model promoted in this book, ie, monetary gain = success

not the message i wanted to hear
the book has some intelligent remarks, but it's all about art as a business. not exactly what i wish, ideally, art to be, or be about. i got this book expecting to hear a discourse on art, instead this seems to focus on all the wrong things, from my perspective.

very boring and uninspiring
The narrator reads extremly monotone like a robot. There are perhaps some good advises to find here for some readers, but none that I remember as particular useful in the end.
