Today’s book: An Audience of One by Srinivas Rao—a refreshing reminder that your best work—and your happiest life—come when you stop chasing approval and start creating for your soul.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Create for yourself first. The most authentic, powerful work happens when you focus on satisfying your own creative spirit—not chasing likes or applause.
- Detach from outcomes. You can’t control fame, virality, or external success—only the quality and love you pour into the process.
- Rituals fuel creativity. Daily habits, protected time, and sacred routines keep you connected to your deeper purpose.
- Consumption needs discipline. Limit distractions and mindless scrolling—your best energy should go toward creating, not consuming.
- Joy is the ultimate compass. When you create with passion and presence, you win—regardless of who’s watching.
Your real audience is the person you become through your work. What will you create for yourself today?
