Steal Like an Artist 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative
by Austin Kleon
My Review
"Very simple ideas very clear in how to apply them very practical and completely brilliant It feels like a book he sat down and wrote in one afternoon or one weekend in that its easy to read it doesnt wander or go around in circles it makes its point quick and concisely and moves on to the next But at the same time it still feels like a supercondensed package of real experiences I love it"
Chapter 1brbr Nothing is originalbr What is originality undetected plagiarismbr All creative work builds from what came beforebr Stop trying to make something out of nothing and embrace influencebr Climb your own tree and once you climb your own tree build your own branchbr Be curious about the world ask questions Google everythingbr Always be reading collect books even if you dont plan on reading them right awaybr Save your thefts for laterbr Keep a swipe file a file of things you swiped from other
