Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You about Being Creative by Austin Kleon
inspiring
fast-paced
4.0
I feel like Steal like an artist is a click-bait title that will make you immediately want to yell. We all know how awful being stolen from is, so I was hesitant to pick this book up. Though the title put me off, I've heard so many things about this book, so I finally snagged the audiobook on Libro.fm.
This book was a quick read with some useful information and a splash of inspiration sprinkled around. This book does not tell you to steal and duplicate others' work, but it gives you the "permission" to go out and use others' ideas and make them your own. Ultimately, nothing is ever 100% unique, so put your spin on an idea and have fun.
All in all, this is an excellent book for any creative. It helps ease the bit of imposter syndrome we all have & inspires you to create.
