This week on the Creators Pod, our hosts discuss the books that have impacted them as creators. The group shares their personal experiences and takeaways from books like "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and "Getting Things Done" by David Allen.

They talk about how these books have inspired them to rethink their work processes, focus on their passions, and become more productive. The group also discusses the benefits of audio books and shares their tips on how to consume more books effectively.
