Critic reviews

“There are five books that are so important in what they have to say that I gift them to others. Now, there are six.” (David Hieatt, cofounder of The Do Lectures and Hiut Denim Co.)

“In James Victore’s new book, he unequivocally proves why he is the master he is. In every chapter, he challenges and inspires the reader to reach for more, to try harder, and to create our best selves. It is a magnificent and momentous experience. (All true.)” (Debbie Millman, host of Design Matters)

“Over the past decade, James has served as a constant reminder for me to have the courage and the audacity to be my weird self. Feck Perfuction is a beautiful case study into why so many of us have found our life’s work when we are our most authentic and when we get comfortable with being our most uncomfortable. Ignore this book at your peril.” (Harley Finkelstein, COO of Shopify)

He was Talking to me!

Seems like He was talking to me, Enlightening and amazing to re-connect with my own voice and creative power!

Amazing

This book could not have come at a better time of my life. I wish I I had found it 5 or 10 years earlier. I found it so relevant I am going to listen to it again. I am in the process of trying to rekindle my wasted and desperate to be used artistic skills and change my career direction in that path. Amazing!

Short, sweet and words to remember

This is a quick listen that will help you move your tail into the future you have always dreamed of having. so grab your headphones and take a few long walks while you listen in on words of wisdom that might be a bit uncomfortable to some, but will help you make a world of change of you let it.

Sometimes writers make great narrators... this is one of those cases.

Great book

I wish this book was longer! There is so much knowledge in this short book that I’m left wanting more - like a kid pulled off of the bottle before I’m full! Masterpiece!

Will definitely shake you

This isn’t your typical motivational speech. Victore gives a pragmatic approach on how to navigate life, find your creativity and most importantly how to find yourself.

A must read for anyone regardless of your stage in life or profession.

Thank you Mr. Victore!!!

A life changing weekend book.

I’m a 20 years experience talented designer and after a long journey of success and failure, trying to relaunch my career after a break to start a family of 4, I got the pleasure to listen to this book over the weekend while dish washing and folding clothes. It’s full of mind blowing ideas and truth that we never face ourselves with as creatives and artists. For anyone who wants to enjoy a bold true bright future this book is for you. I love it that Victors is narrating the book himself which makes sense knowing him. It could not be anything else.
It’s a designer artist life changing book. Don’t miss it. Love you James Victore!!

Life Changing

This might be my absolute favorite book ever!! I’ve learned sooo much Wow! So many lessons on how to master being comfortable with being YOU!! Don’t shrink the Weird! Continue to be who you are, that’s what people will gravitate to and that’s why they love you!

Self-doubt killer

Everywhere I go, I give a big shout out to James and his book. I’ve been through a lot of life lately, and the confidence and joy to just be myself is noticeable. My conducting is relaxed and my creativity in teaching group keyboard classes is fun. Literally, it is such a relief to have ‘fun’ as one of my goals. James love for people and his family, especially his wife, makes me smile.

Great advice

Great advice on how to approach not just art, but life as well. Inspiring and thoughtful!

Fabulous book not just creatives

This book spoke to me on so many levels. I now require it as a must read with my clients (artists) in my Art Business Consulting. I’ve seen James’ work though the years including courses, he’s a fabulous teacher and hits the nail on the head. He shares his journey and approach to life in a relatable way.
