You wrote a book about a topic that you are very much into, and although it's only 60 pages, you were all about the contents, not the process or the readers. Often, authors just want to "write a book" or "be a writer". That rarely results in interesting books in my opinion.
Agreed. Much like a founder building a company for the sake of being a founder.

Rarely makes good products.
