The homemade aesthetic and Kleon’s sense of humor help these books transcend the self-help genre that they’re nominally filed under. “Zine-like in appearance, jumbling together comics, poetry, and artistic advice. “Austin Kleon might be one of the most optimistic and motivating people on earth.” Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle is the Way

I think he’s right and I really loved this book.” Austin doesn’t promise any magical solutions but he does think that all of us sitting down and getting to work-making good stuff-can add up in a big way. There are so many strategies for pushing through despair, chaos or that looming sense that the world is falling to pieces around us. This book is so good and so perfect for the moment, whether you’re an artist or an entrepreneur, a parent or a movie producer.

“Following up a successful series is really hard, especially a monster hit like Steal Like An Artist…but Austin not only does that here, he crushes it. It has been a balm and an encouragement to me.”
