About this ebook

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.
 

Ratings and reviews

I found this book 2 weeks ago at a book store and decided to buy the E version. I found so many answers within. There was so much clutter in my mind about where I stood in this world creatively being someone from an older generation and adapting to the new world of media. I've opened up in so many new ways and have accomplished so much in a really short period of time that it has had a lasting impact with my relationships and creative expressions in just this last week alone. So many opportunities have opened and i finally shed my old body to come out and play. I thank this author so much for putting this information out there. We need more books like this and please don't stop writing them. I want to share this with everyone. Thank you so much if your reading this. This was a life saver.

This is great for artistic inspiration but it really applies to so many other parts of life!! I bought one for each of my sisters. I really enjoyed the list, the quotes, and the art. Such a good read!! I'm going to go back and read it again and take notes for personal inspiration later on!
