Lots of food for thought. Along the lines of the Enemy of done is perfect. Just do things, forget about an audience, stop the doubt, just do it.This comes at a mental sweet spot after a podcast talked about how buying the tools to do something creative isn't a substitute for doing creative stuff.

Une collection d'avis intéressante et très riche, pleine d'apprentissages. Le livre donne beaucoup de pistes pour augmenter sa créativité, mais aussi où trouver l'inspiration, et propose des voies pour se découvrir soi même qui apportent beaucoup. Clair et direct il se dévore d'une traite.

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST or “10 Things Nobody Told You about Being Creative” by Austin Kleon. This book is not a quick read for the simple reason that it is stuffed with good ideas that ne...

Quite possibly one of the best books aspiring (or burned out) artists can read. It shows some simple ways to get ideas from everyday life.Plus, there aren't a lot of words, so this is a 20-minute read at best. But it's the kind of thing you'd pay to see at a college, or hear at a business seminar th...
