I've attended "YouTube University" during the COVID-19 cloistering, and learned some woodworking and welding. (I'm a maker!)
Along the way I got slightly addicted to Adam Savage's various maker videos, and so his book, "Every Tool's a Hammer: Life is What You Make It," jumped to the top of my listening list.
Four chapters in, I'm enjoying it, but I think unless you're already a fan of his, such a book might raise the question "who does this special effects guy think he is to give me life advice?!"
He does a good job reading his own work. Obviously, if I didn't find him to be a good presenter and communicator of his own material, I wouldn't have gotten hooked on his videos in the first place.
