As an author of two business books, this article really hit home and I was able to recognize several of the "feelings" that Guy writes about.

Guy, we traded emails about your first book, back in the heady days of the early Internet (The word, Internet, was capitalized back then.) I just pasted your article about writing a book into the intro space of my current book-writing effort. Thanks you.

Thanks, Guy. As always, an inspiration. Since I discovered your TED Talk, “The Art of Innovation,” (and the bozosity theme) throughout your books in the last 10+ years has been a pleasure to learn from you and to see you jumping ahead to the next curve… and inspiring other people to do it.

Gracias, Guy!

As someone who has spent 30+ years in the book business no wiser words have been said. Terrific advice Guy!

Thanks Guy! Loved this post. Very helpful for me right now as I'm part way through writing a manuscript and continuously thinking about how to make something wonderful.
