    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Help Yourself – The Surface is a roadmap for creators who refuse to fade into the noise. Life’s rhythm can feel relentless—rules, expectations, and judgment beating down until your inner music goes silent. But what if you could turn that chaos into sound? What if every scar became a note in your comeback song? 
    This book is my story of doing exactly that—rewriting pain into purpose through music. From a five-year-old on a piano bench in Latvia’s Song and Dance Festival, surrounded by 12,000 voices, to dark nights in underground clubs where raw riffs became lifelines. Each chapter reveals how rhythm, resilience, and creativity can pull you from collapse to clarity. 
    Like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, this book helps you unlock your creative pulse and reconnect with your power. It’s a guide for dreamers, rebels, and Gen Z creators searching for a sense of meaning in a world that moves too fast. 
    You’ll learn to find your “reset word”—mine is music—to anchor yourself through struggle. You’ll see how small wins, like in Atomic Habits, build unstoppable momentum. You’ll face fear and resistance like in The War of Art, and find freedom through vulnerability, echoing Daring Greatly. 
    From metal bands to Fruity Loops sessions, from trauma and betrayal to founding Fresh Music Frontier (FMF)—a platform born to lift artists—the journey shows that creation isn’t just expression; it’s survival. 
    Help Yourself – The Surface is a manifesto for anyone ready to turn pain into progress, noise into melody, and doubt into drive. If Man’s Search for Meaning taught us to find light in suffering, this book turns that light into sound. 
    Your life is a track in progress. It’s time to hit play.

    In this richly illustrated landmark book, author and journalist Will Ellsworth-Jones documents the sold, stolen and destroyed works of Banksy, one of the most renowned and controversial artists of our time. 
    This is a book about what you can't see: the works that have disappeared entirely, whether destroyed by authorities or whisked into people's private art collections to languish on walls or in collector's vaults. These remarkable works are as elusive as their creator, but are returned here for public consumption and enjoyment.
    A victim of his own success, Banksy is famous the world over and yet more famously disdainful of the spotlight, preferring to remain anonymous. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living artists in the world and to others a rogue vandal with a political agenda, Banksy has scandalised and enlightened the art world since his acts of guerrilla art began to appear on the streets of Barton Hill in Bristol over 25 years ago. His artworks can now be found on streets across the globe, adorning the walls of some of the world's most distinguished galleries and even being sold for millions at private auctions. 
    
    
    Works unveiled in Banksy's Lost Works include:
    • The pieces painted on partially destroyed buildings around Kyiv, Ukraine, one of which has already been cut off the wall by a group of locals. 
    • Valentine's Day Mascara in Margate that has now been restored and housed in Dreamland after several interventions by Thanet District Council.
    • Banksy's disappearing rats, an early symbol of the artist routinely painted over by councils when the name Banksy was more synonymous with 'vandal' than 'artist'.
    This book, showcasing the often mysterious and occasionally mundane disappearances of works by one of the art world's more elusive figures, is a truly indispensable addition to the library of any Banksy fan. Sold, stolen or destroyed, discover Banksy's works that have disappeared from the wall.
