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.

This book serves as a reminder that you don't need anyone's permission to pursue your goals
I first picked up this book attracted by the title. it's like a friend of yours wrote a book and you're having an awesome time reading it. It’s full of helpful tips to harness your creativity but also offers a piece of comfort. I feel like it’s one of those books that I will keep going back to & rereading often.
The book is peppered with relevant quotes, humor, chuckle worthy illustrations, black out poetry, advice from other creatives abd very inspiring.But more than that, this is also a practical book on how to live a good and satisfying life despite the chaos that sometimes surrounds us.
This book is an example of how to succeed at creativity and at writing about it through encouragement. This is in general an enjoyable work and certainly one of the better books when it comes to the habits it wants to encourage in readers.
