About this listen

An audio compilation of Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work and Keep Going.

Read by the author, it’s the bestselling and transformative series on how to unlock your creativity, find community and an audience in the digital age, and stay focused, creative and true to yourself—for life. Includes full text from:

Steal Like an Artist: The New York Times bestselling book on the ten things nobody ever told you about being creative. Including nothing is original, so embrace influence. School yourself through the work of others. Remix and reimagine to discover your own path. And forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch.

Show Your Work: How to take that critical next step on a creative journey―getting known and finding your people. A user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity, this inspiring manifesto is a blueprint for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.

Keep Going: Timeless, practical, and ethical principles for anyone trying to sustain a meaningful and productive life. 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. Above all, keep working, keep playing, keep creating—keep going.

❤️Austin

Oh Austin, you dear magnificent soul. I so enjoyed his take on all things. I generally like books like these ones (The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is the gold standard), which work in small chapters and jump around a little in subject matter but with a central theme. If you’ve ever seen these books in person, they’re a jumbled collection of art, graphic lettering, and paragraphs of text. Austin does a good job here of reading the books in a linear fashion, and his voice is adorable :)

Quick bites that inspire

I really enjoyed each of the books read by the author. It’s an inspirational kick in the pants and I’ll be implementing much of what he said in my actions or mindset.

I will return to this book

I’m certainly going to recommend this book to others I know. It’s deeper than the copying. Leave the world better than you found it!

A must listen

A must listen for anyone who creates, directly and indirectly. Not just for artist but for the everyday Joe. Amazing!
