I highly recommend a few books for all creatives. 

The art of asking by Amanda Palmer – this book taught me that my service is valuable and asking is hard but you should ask. Those who value your art will step up. 

Furiously happy by Jenny Lawson – this book taught me that I’m not alone in being weird and my weirdness is what makes me wonderful. It is probably what makes my art wonderful. 

You’re never weird on the internet (almost) by Felicia day – for teaching me that haters gonna hate for everyone. 

Anything by David Sedaris cause he’s funny and sometimes you need to laugh.
