Austin Kleon
The world is crazy. Creative work is hard. And nothing is getting any easier! In his previous books—Steal Like an Artistand Show Your Work!, New York Times bestsellers with over a million copies in print combined—Austin Kleon gave readers the key to unlock their creativity and then showed them how to share it. Now he completes his trilogy with his most inspiring work yet. Keep Going gives the reader life-changing, illustrated advice and encouragement on how to stay creative, focused, and true to yourself in the face of personal burnout or external distractions. Here is how to Build a Bliss Station—a place or fixed period where you can disconnect from the world. How to see that Every Day Is Groundhog Day—yesterday’s over, tomorrow may never come, so just do what you can do today. How to Forget the Noun, Do the Verb—stop worrying about being a “painter” and just paint. Keep working. Keep playing. Keep searching. Keep giving. Keep living. Keep Going. It’s exactly the message all of us need, at exactly the right time.

"I give the Book 4 stars instead of three because it surprised me. The tone at the beginning I really didn’t think I was going to be interested in it. As an indigenous person myself I was excited to see an indigenous author. Then when it played into the realistic but well-known trope of giving advice through storytelling I was a bit disappointed. Not because this isn’t realistic. But because I was hoping for different representation. But I gave the book a chance and it did not disappoint. You can tell the author is truly a storyteller because I was sucked right in and held attentive the whole time. I loved hearing that this was based off of his own grandfather. I gleaned lessons from the stories that pertain to where I am now. I am a storyteller myself and I loved hearing how these stories were told."
