I was recommended to read this book a few days back, and today i had the opportunity to sit 7-8hours without internet. Okay the last part isn’t relevant. Anyway.
This book is great for creative workers like artists, the ones who wanna be creative but don’t know what to do yet, and for me who needs any sorts of help to get through everyday life.
You dont have to be a creative person to read this book. You just need to have the thoughts, even once, of wanting to be creative, to be deserving this book.
It’s quite short and plain simple, no “special terms” like the kinds only certain group understand so you have to find its description on a business or designer (is there even one) vocabulary. So you can enjoy reading it between your lunch break, before bed, or on those rainy days where you dont wanna go anywhere.
It’s a light reading. In the lightest way possible. Although it’s not as light as 4 squared comics.
The book has 10 chapters, with the first chapter titled the same as the book’s. It goes on with many quotes from various persons, and it’s own taglines (like the most important aspect of the paragraph) as well. I really like the tiny drawings that the book has. And the quotes are thrown inside like a thought bubble? So it’s not plain texts. My kind of books.
I have a few things I’d like to upload here, but to make it simpler, i only put one. As usual ✨
