Friend of independent music and **CD Baby** founder **Derek Sivers** released his first book today, **[Anything You Want – 40 Lessons In Being An Entrepeneur](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=hypebot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1936719118&ref=hypebot.com)**

on **Seth Godin**'s new **Amazon** imprint **Domino**. [Anything You Want](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=hypebot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1936719118&ref=hypebot.com)

is a compilation of lessons Sivers learned as a self-taught businessman. I devoured it in a single 90 minute sitting, and now consider it a must read for anyone starting or running a business, including every musician who cares about their future. I'll be writing more about [Anything You Want](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=hypebot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1936719118&ref=hypebot.com)

in the coming days and **interviewing** Derek. Until then, here's how **Derek describes his book:**

"It's 40 short stories, sharing what I learned during starting, building, and selling CD Baby.Not an autobiography, it's really my top-40 tips for anyone starting or running a company.Most of the lessons are counter-intuitive, learned from experience, and go against the usual business-book advice. If you know my blog, you'll recognize some of the stories, but now in context."

**Buy: [Anything You Want](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=hypebot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1936719118&ref=hypebot.com)**
