Matches the ideas of the book

"Great book with nice examples, easy language to keep you engage and finish it in a day."

Raah (5/5)

Creativity unleashed: steal like an artist

"Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon completely shifted how I view creativity. Instead of stressing about being 100% original, I learned that it’s okay to draw inspiration from others and make it my own. This mindset opened up so many creative possibilities for me, allowing me to experiment more freely and confidently. If you’re feeling stuck in your creative process, this book is a must-read. I’d rate it a solid 4 stars! However the book actually fell apart while I was reading it."
