Overview
Overview
Keep Working. Keep Playing. Keep Creating.
In his previous books Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work , both New York Times bestsellers, Austin Kleon gave readers the keys to unlock their creativity and showed them how to become known. Now he offers his most inspiring work yet, with ten simple rules for how to stay creative, focused, and true to yourself--for life.
The creative life is not a linear journey to a finish line, it's a loop--so find a daily routine, because today is the only day that matters. Disconnect from the world to connect with yourself--sometimes you just have to switch into airplane mode. Keep Going celebrates getting outdoors and taking a walk (as director Ingmar Bergman told his daughter, "The demons hate fresh air"). Pay attention, and especially pay attention to what you pay attention to. Worry less about getting things done, and more about the worth of what you're doing. Instead of focusing on making your mark, work to leave things better than you found them.
Keep Going and its timeless, practical, and ethical principles are for anyone trying to sustain a meaningful and productive life.

Great work
Andrea J. - 6 years 2 months agoGreat book with some real, practical steps to put into place in every day life.

A useful book for working artists and designers that is especially timely right now. I felt encouraged. And I'll reread this.
Clare D. - 6 years 5 months agoI enjoyed it. I found Keep Going helpful and encouraging as a working designer (with less paid work than usual at this moment). So good, in fact, that I had to read the author's Steal Like an Artist right after it!
