This is, by far, <i>the best</i> book I have ever read on "being creative." In 2011, Kleon originally wrote a simple list of things he wished he had known when he was younger, Kleon later expanded this list into an illustrated manifesto called <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Steal-Like-Artist-Austin-Kleon/9780761169253/?a_aid=theprivategirl" target="new"><i>Steal Like an Artist</i></a>. Practical lessons for creatives types - writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, photographers, musicians, and anyone who just likes making nice things - this book serves as a gentle and supportive reminder of what is important.
