It teaches you how to create your own projects.Acting like any profession is a step process. I've just been to four years of acting school and taken numorous seminars, and no one before this book showed me how to get out of that catch 22 cycle.
If you want to get work, you needed to have worked. This book illustrates how to make your own work, how to network, and how and where to have a little fun in the process.
I just graduated from NYU and I feel reinspired that I can actually have a career and a little fun while I'm at it. It gives me excercises on self preservation, as well as, hot spots to go at night. It even gives practical advice on how to save on car insurance. My mom gave it to me for christmas and I highly recommend it, if your in LA or your thinking of going to LA. If you want to stay sane happy and sucessful, read this book and carry it with you. It will be your bible.I cant say enough

What was also great about it,is that is was written by a therapist,so it gives you excercises to keep your spirits up when things get a little tuff. it's the Artist's Way for actors in LA.
Dont step off the plane without these two books in hand, if you really want to create a full life as an artist or an actor.I can't say enough.
