Initial Thoughts
The first few chapters, while captivating as a subject, read like a business book. While it can be a bit dry, the alchemy lab turned the tide in keeping me going through the reasons to be creative. I came into this book from a creative’s perspective instead of an entrepreneur’s. The book is clearly geared toward the latter, which made it a slow read. Getting through more allowed more ease of reading and comfort with the writing style.
