I’ve read Austin Kleon’s other two books, Show Your Work! and Steal Like an Artist, both of which offer advice on how to unlock your creativity and help you to get your work out into the world. In this book aimed at writers, artists, and creatives of all types, the author offers tips, tricks, and techniques on how to stay creative during good times and bad.
Though this is just a short book, it is an inspirational one, and it contains an incredible amount of wisdom and depth in its pages. The book is peppered with relevant quotes, humor, chuckle-worthy illustrations, black-out poetry, advice from other creatives and inspiring stories that made me get excited all over again about the projects I’m currently working on. 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.
Though this is a fast read — I think I read it through the first time in less than two hours — this isn’t the kind of book you place back on your shelf when you’re finished and forget about it. Like his other books, you’ll want to have it close at hand so that it’s within easy reach to refer back to often. I now have it on my desk with his other two books, and I have little doubt that I’ll be turning to it often.
I think this would be an excellent motivating book to refer to when going through rough patches — those times in your life when success seems too far off to reach for or when you’re feeling lost or jaded. This might be just the book to pull you out of a slump. All in all, Keep Going is a timeless book both from the heart and for the heart, and I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Austin Author
This Austin author is absolutely fabulous and so on point. I just started my new business and exploring the Artists Way with a group of folks (more fun in numbers -right?). This was highly recommended by the groups to keep moving. Just arrived today, but so far, I love its insights. Definitely a keeper book and it’d be a great gift for anyone starting a new adventure!

I love it when an author makes it easy to understand, like a digest, rather than using heavy words to portray an image that doesn’t convey much.
I absolutely love Austin Kleon’s work. He’s magic
