The book takes readers through over 300 pages (and 200 stunning photographs) documenting the successes, setbacks, and sources of motivation for over 40 global creative leaders, while also providing a separate chapter dedicated to "tips, advice, and inspiration for anyone looking to forge their own path in life."

Though a diverse group of individuals is featured, they each share a common thread of having forged professional paths that are creatively and personally sustaining, such as Francesca Bonato, cofounder of the industry leading hospitality and lifestyle brand Coqui Coqui, and Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, founders of Dimore Studio (pictured below).
