Good advice submitted by yugure on October 4, 2012, 12:21pm Some of the suggestions for boosting creativity and productivity are no-brainers, echoing advice from many other "how-to" books on creativity, but some were new to me or said things a way that made them "click." Worth reading or skimming through at least once.

Tons of great ideas in this book. submitted by Nehemiah9 on July 29, 2019, 9:59am I really wish I would have read this book earlier because I think most artists/designers/creatives don't have a clear idea about what they're doing really and why they are doing it. Really reflecting on these questions and figuring this out gives us a more clear purpose and then we can make action plans that align with our values. Definitely a great book full of a lot of great quotes and ideas that will help any artist on their artistic journey.
