"Steal Like an Artist" is one of those books that breaks away from traditional self-help logic and offers a fresh, inspiring perspective on creativity. Austin Kleon, with a simple yet powerful writing style, invites us to see art and innovation through the eyes of a "thief."

The central idea of the book is that no artist or creator operates in a vacuum. Everyone draws ideas, inspiration, and influences from others. The key, however, is to "steal" wisely – to take ideas, adapt them to your needs, and create something authentic.

The book is divided into 10 concise and easily understandable chapters, which include practical advice for the creative process, such as:
• Drawing inspiration from different sources.
• Accepting the imperfect nature of your art.
• Embracing everyday life as a canvas for ideas.

The aesthetic of the book, with sketches and handwritten notes, gives it a personal and interactive character, making it not only enjoyable to read but also directly inspiring action.

Why you should read it

"Steal Like an Artist" is not just for professional artists. It is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their creativity – whether you are a writer, entrepreneur, designer, or simply someone seeking new ways of expression.

With its optimistic and practical approach, the book serves as a guide to discovering the creativity that lies within us. It reminds us that originality is not about inventing from scratch but about reusing and transforming.

It is a book that, despite its small size, leaves a big impact. If you love creativity and want to enrich your daily life, it is worth giving it a chance!

It reads "like water." It is simple and straightforward without much fluff. And it is very pleasant to read. I recommend it to provoke some thoughts on how we can draw ideas from the stimuli of our environment to become more creative!

And all three books in the series are a breeze to read, they are pure inspiration and remind you what it truly means to be a creator. They take you back to the reasons why you create and confirm that you are not alone in this endless journey of perception of the world and expression. I bought them greedily one after the other and now they feel like Gospel.
