The author walks you through how he became a writer and what he thinks is the role of writers in modern society. There's no self-promotion in the book, quite the opposite: he clearly states that he was only able to build a career thanks to passion and long-term consistency. These short stories echo (and, sometimes, overlap) with “What I talk about when I talk about running”.

I found it at times inspiring and at times a bit repetitive, thus 3.5 ⭐️
