I like the way the author integrated motivation and mental habits and applied them to music production. Also some direct suggestions for music production.

This has to be one of the most useful books I've ever read. I went from knowing nothing to releasing an EP in a year following this advice.

First, I will say, YES it's relevant to current-day technology and musical styles. I'm always skeptical when it's 2023 and I'm looking at a printed-on-paper book offering instruction on cutting-edge technology and current musical styles which are created digitally (Techno, House, and all their many sub-genres and spin-offs). I'm happy to say that this book feels very fresh and current and the topics are timeless anyway. You could (and should) easily apply the concepts to whatever genre floats your boat. It's more about your APPROACH than any particular technology anyway. You know... the MENTAL GAME. But, in that regard, it's not at all obtuse or abstract, in fact it's quite specific, very applicable and has already increased my speed, focus and ability to complete projects. Just get it and see for yourself. You won't regret it. My only complaint is that it's so chock full of good stuff, that I'm always interrupting myself to stop and write down valuable notes. It's bothersome :)

I loved much of the great advice and no holds barred attitude of Jason. His advice has helped me break through some of the unproductive desires I've had, such as reading books non stop just to become smarter. What good is it if you don't put it to good use right away? And I've also stopped the endless watching of tutorials. Now, I primarily watch and read only when I known it's something I need to get something done or that I will need very soon.
However, I think he could tone it down a bit regarding the lack of need for technical training or academic "book" learning like music theory. If you can add tools to your toolbox, why not? It will only make you a better composer, songwriter, mixer, producer or whatever it is you do in music.
I don't think anyone could write a sonata in classical early 1800s style by just stumbling on it by experimenting. Yes, I know the book is mainly about EDM and other pop/rock type genres, but music theory is applicable to ALL genres.
I doubt knowing what a V/III chord is will make me a lesser song writer or composer and I would strongly argue, it will make us better song writers or composers. Plus, instead of...

This is a good read whether you’re starting out, lost inspiration or taken a sabbatical and looking get back or get back in the game from scratch. The write up is good and for anyone who’s produced music can relate to the situations or examples. Make sure you read to the end and don’t skip any section even if you think it’s something you know. You’ll find gems between the lines. Kudos to the writer.

This book is a rare gem in a sea of noise. Jason Timothy not only someone who walks the walk but also talks the talk. He’s sharing his mental models of how to find inspiration, build healthy habits around music production, but also how to finally finish songs. What makes this book special is his level of depth. It’s just in a different league compared to all the shallow content out there. Highly recommended!

After completing the book, I have:
-improved workflow
-formed a better work ethic
-become more organized
-become more inspired and ambitious
-become more aware of obstacle and how to overcome them
And finally, I’ve become a mentor for my fellow producer friends.
Best $20 I’ve spent!
