Everything no one will tell you about being an artist
Nobody Knows What They're Doing is an honest guide to the creative life for artists of all kinds. Lee Crutchley, author of How to Be Happy (Or At Least Less Sad), skips the platitudes, positive affirmations, and guarantees of success; he'll never ever tell you to just Do What You Love. Instead, Crutchley discusses the things nobody else is talking about—that, frankly, your work sucks (but that's ok because everyone else's does too), that making bad art is worth it, and so much more.
In a world desperate for a glimpse of authenticity, Nobody Knows What They're Doing is a breath of fresh air that reveals the truths hiding between the lines of Instagram-friendly aphorisms and behind the words of the most inspirational TED talks. An honest look at the reality of creativity and the joy and difficulty of crafting good (and bad) art, this book is a must-listen for every exhausted creative, every starry-eyed dreamer, and every artist who is trying to make their way in the world—and keep a roof over their head while they do it.

      Matthew Lloyd Davies's narration blends casualness and candor in this unusual motivational audiobook for creatives. In an easygoing, nonjudgmental tone, Davies conveys Crutchley's frank advice about moving beyond obstacles in creating art: Know that your work sucks--and so does everyone else's. While he is sincere in his encouragement to be authentic and fearless in producing work, there is humor and delight as he dismisses rules touted on social media, traditional advice to find inspiration from the work of others, and making huge rather than small life changes. Although some points in this short work are repetitive, Davies's smooth and articulate delivery enhances this engaging and no-nonsense reality check for artists of all kinds.
