If you're serious about both your livelihood and your vocation/passion, her book is a must. Besides making a good case for not hating your day job, she gives numerous suggestions for making your job (and entire life, really) a work of art. Pierre's illustrations make the book visually appealing and easy to read.

It's funny - I started this blog because I couldn't find anything online or in print by people who were basically happy with their jobs but had other things going as well. All the websites I came up with when I queried "day jobs" focused on the "how to sell your novel so you can quit your job" theme. These past 6 or so months, however, I'm meeting and reading from more and more people like Pierre, artists who want to live an integrated life where every element feeds the others.

Synchronicity? Maybe the world is finally ready for the idea that a person can do more than one thing well.
