_____
I’d seen this book by Austin Kleon many times before, but it didn’t trigger enough courage in me to have it on my bookself ’til I, without prior planning, opened a page which titled “No Guilty Pleasure’ and a quote of Dave Grohl is added below “I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you f–ing like something, like it.” Yes it hit me so hard that I ended up buying the book in the blink of an eye.
The book is a list of well-organized essential ideas for all the things you should keep in mind to “show your work”: from how to deal with your inner self problems to the way to communicate with your followers and colleagues and be findable. Through facts, tips, short stories and experiences he collected, Austin Kleon refreshes the readers’ minds with continually positive attitude, which, in the long tiring creative process, could be neglected from time to time. Randomly reading any chapter in this book may brighten up your mind with ceaseless inspiration.
Besides, Austin Kleon’s black and white photographs, concised quotes, coupled with clever newspaper blackout phrases are not only make long story short but they also give such thought-provoking impression.
