I picked this up a few weeks ago, got it signed by Werner Herzog himself! I was the last in the line when he spoke at Pioneerworks. The book is a bit all over the place, and Werner is pompous, but it does cover his entire life, his ideas, values, how he works, and is inspiring. He's one of my favorite creators. He's really a poet, as he says. What I took away from this is his "hard work" is just continually putting in the time. Like a lot of my other favorites, he has just made an extraordinary amount of material: films, operas mostly. And some books. An inspiring book about living a creative life.
