Recommended Read: Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t

Or: Understand This — You’re Not That Interesting (To Most People)

Steven Pressfield’s book Nobody Wants to Read Your Sht* hits hard with one simple idea:

No one is waiting to hear what you have to say.
Unless it’s really worth their time.

It’s a wake-up call for anyone who creates — whether you’re writing content, pitching a product, or building a personal brand. And honestly, it’s a message more people need to hear.

Key TakeawaysWriting Is a Deal

Your audience gives you their attention — one of the most precious resources in today’s world. In return, you owe them something valuable: clarity, insight, usefulness, or entertainment.

Empathy Over Ego

Good writing starts with understanding the reader’s point of view. What are they feeling? What do they care about? Are you speaking to that?

Before You Hit Publish, Ask Yourself:Is this interesting or enjoyable to read?Am I solving a real problem or offering a new way to look at things?Am I giving the reader something they can actually use?Final Thought

If more creators embraced this mindset — that it’s not about you, it’s about the reader — the quality of online content would improve overnight.

That’s what I took from Pressfield’s book.
Curious to know what you’ll take from it too.
