Publisher's summary

Simple answers to complex questions. Performing under pressure. Improving skills. Managing business. Maintaining relationships. Building confidence. Overcoming doubt and fear. Everyone faces these challenges, and Matt Wilson is no exception. However, after spending almost thirty years as a professional musician, he’s realized that even the most complex issues often have simple solutions, and the many lessons he has learned along the journey from barroom stages to Broadway can be applied to other areas in life as well.

In this guide, Wilson shares eighty life lessons—or Hooks, named after the musical term—covering skills, performance, identity, confidence, expectations, courage, fear, creativity, and business. These simple Hooks are followed by thorough explanations and real-life examples, all presented to help you gain perspective, improve performance, retain confidence, and find balance in life, “on stage,” and in business. With Hooks, you will see that you’re not alone in your struggles and concerns, that someone has faced the same questions, and then found answers with simple solutions that might work for you too.

Must Have Resource

I wasn't sure what i was getting into when a friend recommended this book to me. However, after listening to the first chapter I was "hooked". I'm not saying the book is important because it says that I'm right and my wife is wrong on how we load the dishwasher...or at least that's the way I took that chapter. I had the opportunity to listen to this book with my daughter and we both learned something from every chapter even though she's in high school and I'm pushing 30 years in my career. This is a book full of principles that help in every aspect in life and business and are worth revisiting every year. You don't have to be a musician to reap the rewards of the wisdom in this book.
