About the Book

Anything You Want is the insightful and bracingly honest tale of how Derek Sivers unexpectedly became an entrepreneur, and the lessons he learned founding CD Baby and turning it into the largest seller of independent music on the web.

About the Cover

This cover received a fair amount of critical feedback because of the different ways people interpret the photo of the child buried in the sand. Is he experiencing fear or is he experiencing joy? Why is he buried and how did he get there? This mix of emotions is a cocktail of feelings that any entrepreneur will understand. Like a child in a sandpit entrepreneurs are often trapped by their own creations, but they’re also aware that they’re always working towards a kind of freedom that employees will never know.

Testimonial from Derek Sivers

Alex’s design of my book was wonderful. His attention to both the big picture and the detail let me trust his judgement completely. I’m glad I did.
