At first I thought it was a self-help, then a memoir, then self-help again, but as I got closer to the end I kind of stumbled onto the idea that it's a book that's not really about anything in particular other than thinking. Think about the processes you use to get through your day. Think about your past, present, and future and how you can align them. Think about the tools you have at your disposal, and try using them for unintended purposes.

If you've listened to his podcast, you've probably heard most of what he says in this book, but even then it's still worth reading.

Got bored - felt unnatural from how author speaks normally to be in such a school - essay format

If I could give this book six stars I would. This is a combination of a how-to and an autobiography that takes you into the mind of a maker and shares the ways Adam Savage has found success in his builds.

Shout-out to this book for getting me out of my reading slump and shout-out to Adam Savage for being and awesome human being and maker and throughly succeeding at yet another type of making, writing.
