You don't have to be a genius, all you need is to be yourself. This is the message of Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. A manifesto for the digital age, "Steal Like an Artist" is a guide whose positive message, illustrations, exercises, and examples will directly engage readers with their creative side.

When Austin Kleon was asked to give a speech to college students in New York, he adapted it around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. The speech went viral and the author dug even deeper into his ideas to create the book "Steal Like an Artist". The result is inspiring, motivating, authentic, practical, and fun. And full of new truths about creativity: Nothing is original, so embrace your influences, gather ideas, remix, and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you. Behave smartly, stay away from debt, dare to be boring: your creative self needs space, madness, and courage to express itself.
