Events & Education We're excited to announce our TNP Book Club's first book of the year: The Practice: Shipping Creative Work, written by best-selling author Seth Godin.
"The Practice explores creativity, not as a rare gift given to a select few but as a skill anyone can acquire with focused effort and consistency." Join us and a copy of The Practice for a special price of just $10!
Depending on interest, we will help facilitate an informal post-reading event for all TNP members to socialize and discuss the concepts covered in our book.
