Truly Born to Run
Episode description

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lesson number one. Life is hard. This is not a negative statement, its just the truth.
- Springsteen took his own path despite external pressure that was quite relentless. He developed his process and stuck to it.
- To those that think its all about being successful quickly, Springsteen can tell you that its only after years of struggle.
- For Bruce Springsteen its was never about the money. He came from modest means and found it difficult to adapt to wealth.
- Bruce openly talks about his mental health and when the work stops as a distraction the questions of what and who he is returned.
- Everyone has to pay a price for success. Practice, improvement and time lead to the top of your game.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There is something about Springsteen that is unique and special and he tries to describe that in his book and there are so many lessons in this beautiful volume.'
‘He was criticised all over the place and beaten up emotionally and verbally and he had to deal with that.'
‘The lessons are that you have to be that single minded. Now, detours are ok, he talks about many detours in his life, but he never ever gave up his dream.'
‘Don't write for the market. Write for you. Don't play for the market, play for you. Don't lead because you think that's what they want, do what is right and the rest will fall into place.'
‘You have to be able to sit down and be at peace with yourself and allow yourself to be loved.'
