In 'Perennial Seller,' bestselling author Ryan Holiday provides a guide for creatives across all fields—from authors and entrepreneurs to musicians and artists—on how to produce and promote work designed to endure, rather than fade quickly.
Many industries often prioritize fleeting success, dismissing projects that don't immediately go viral or achieve instant bestseller status. This short-sighted approach floods the market with temporary fads. However, true greats understand the value of creating work that stands the test of time. Holiday introduces the concept of 'Perennial Sellers': works that, like Zildjian cymbals or Robert Greene’s 'The 48 Laws of Power,' gain value and relevance over decades. These aren't accidental successes but products built with longevity in mind from their inception. Drawing from extensive research and interviews with leading creatives, Holiday distills innovative principles for crafting and marketing your own lasting contribution.
