I liked it! The format, font and pictures keep it light and I found a few things in here that I already do to try and spur my creative side, and a few other tips I will definitely be trying。 Read this for our company book club, looking forward to discussing it with a group of very creative people。

Awesome read。 Inspirational。 Quick, efficient, straight to the point - but ideas that will stick with you for a lifetime。

Encouraging and funny!

Dimitri Liountris

A book that sort of kicks you into writing。 At least it did for me。 Incredibly appreciative that I found this book。

Victor Schumann

An okay book with great insight for artists and creators, however it only just scratches the surface of many good concepts and ideas。 Overall, a good reminder。

I gifted this book to an artist friend! And I read some of it too! It's a light-hearted, fun book that gives small tips and insights into what it takes to make it as an artist!

This book is chock full of great things and not just tips on how to make you a better thief or pickpocket on how to steal things but more like how to actually create things and to have the confidence to go out and do that and where to find the inspiration unlocking your creativity stealing like an artist。 There is a good stealing and bad kind of stealing。 The truth is everybody steals because nobody's original like it says in Ecclesiastes there is nothing new under the sun。 It's the imperfection This book is chock full of great things and not just tips on how to make you a better thief or pickpocket on how to steal things but more like how to actually create things and to have the confidence to go out and do that and where to find the inspiration unlocking your creativity stealing like an artist。 There is a good stealing and bad kind of stealing。 The truth is everybody steals because nobody's original like it says in Ecclesiastes there is nothing new under the sun。 It's the imperfection that help us to find what we like and don't like and create a personal style。 It encourages to just get the work done, to put in time, and to not just think that amazing pieces of creativity comes from nowhere like they just explode and then it should come so easy but it is gonna take countless hours of honing that skill。 Maybe you just need to be boring and getting your sweatpants and stay at home and get the work done。 。。。more

A short book, yet I've found it very inspiring。 Easy to follow and simple rules about life and the craft。 Great book overall。 I've enjoyed it a lot。 A short book, yet I've found it very inspiring。 Easy to follow and simple rules about life and the craft。 Great book overall。 I've enjoyed it a lot。 。。。more

Pleasant reading if you already understood part of the book's theses in your own life experience。 Each topic requires rich practice or a severe book to understand the message entirely。 The value of this work for unprepared readers is questionable。The last pages about money are useless and can be dangerous。 Pleasant reading if you already understood part of the book's theses in your own life experience。 Each topic requires rich practice or a severe book to understand the message entirely。 The value of this work for unprepared readers is questionable。The last pages about money are useless and can be dangerous。 。。。more

This was an insanely good book。 Concise, optimistic, and actionable。Three things I learned:- nothing is original so don’t worry about copying- don’t be ashamed of what you find interesting- use the people around you to draw inspirationSuch a good read couldn’t recommend more highly

Matt Joyce

Read it in one sitting。 Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down and want to read it again! Brilliant!

This is a nice book about how to steal several ideas and do research on them and blend them to make your own idea。 Theme of this book is "Nothing is orginal"。 This is a nice book about how to steal several ideas and do research on them and blend them to make your own idea。 Theme of this book is "Nothing is orginal"。 。。。more
