About the book

The creative life is a loop, not a straight line to a finish, in Austin Kleon's ten rules for staying creative, focused and true to oneself over a lifetime. That makes a daily routine central, since today is the only day that counts. Other rules urge disconnecting from the world, sometimes by switching into airplane mode, to reconnect with oneself, and getting outdoors for walks, with a nod to Ingmar Bergman's remark to his daughter that the demons hate fresh air. Kleon also asks readers to notice what they pay attention to, to care more about the worth of their work than about getting things done, and to leave things better than they found them.

Todd Henry, founder of Accidental Creative, called it a great book in an episode with Kleon titled How To Keep Going.
