$12

. . . here’s the first paragraph of the back copy, “Buy as many lattes as you want.” That’s a reference to people who recommend you cut back on all these things like a latte. “Spend extravagantly on the things you love. Live your rich life instead of tracking every last expense.”

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, which is an incredible book on contending with frustration in the creative process, particularly as it relates to writing.  It’s a great book and very hilarious, and very good therapy for people who are going through tough spots when trying to do anything entrepreneurial or creative.
