The obvious is phrased nicely, but that doesn't make it any less obvious. There is much that is purely nonsensical. I truly feel that if millennials were not so drawn to minimalistic covers that look nice on their coffee tables, this book would not be as popular as it is. This book is a cash grab and remarkably condescending. Seriously, just watch Ratatouille, you might actually be inspired, and it succeeds at sending the message that anyone can be A Creative.
