About this episode

Derek Sivers discusses the completion of his book and invites further conversation on its themes.

I have so much more to say on this subject, but this book is done now because I believe short books are useful. So the conversation continues on the website: sive.rs/u There you will find more thoughts and stories around “Useful Not True”. Please email me any questions or thoughts. I reply to every one. Go to: sive.rs/contact To share my books with others, get them directly from me with quantity discounts, at: sivers.com I hope you found this book useful, not true. —— Derek Sivers New Zealand June 2024 (Saturday, winter)
