I keep giving a book I read in 2013 to the folks I draw each year for secret Santa. 

I know that might seem like a way to get an often challenging task accomplished easily but that’s not the reason why I recommend and give this book away frequently. It’s because this book changed my way of thinking and looking at the world around me and especially, creativity. 

Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative” is a beautiful book. It’s not a terribly challenging read but it’s one that makes you think first, then start to take action. & I think something like that is a beautiful thing. 

You’re reminded you can start today doing the things even though you’re not finished figuring things out. How you can get places by being nice to people as you go and using your hand(s), feet, or whatever tools you have to do the thing you want to do. 

It’s a simple book that has had a big influence on the way I look at the world around me and the projects I choose to take on. I shared this cause maybe you could find value in it too.

Have a great day, 

Casey
