Austin Kleon Knihy

Možná bychom sem už nemuseli nic psát, protože představovat Austina Kleona našim čtenářům je nejspíš zbytečné… Ale my se tak těšíme! Pojďme si to raději shrnout: novinka plná kreativního povzbuzení pro chvíle, kdy si myslíte, že už nikdy nic nevytvoříte, protože nápady došly, vyšla v originále letos v dubnu. Ve svých předchozích knihách – Kraď jako umělec a Ukaž, co děláš! (obě jsou mimochodem bestsellerem jak podle New York Times, tak i dle nás), nám Austin Kleon ukázal, jak objevit svou kreativitu a jak o sobě dát vědět světu. Nyní nabízí to nejdůležitější: deset pravidel, jak o kreativitu nepřijít, zůstat soustředěný a věrný sám sobě – a to celoživotně. Tvořivost není rovná cesta s jasným začátkem i koncem, ale spíše smyčka. Kniha je vtipným návodem na to, jak se v různých odbočkách naší práce a tvorby neztratit, jak nesejít z cesty a mít správně nastavený cíl. Austine, děkujeme, těšíme, jedeme dál!

Umělec Austin Kleon dospívá k moudrému závěru, že absolutní původnost v jakékoli oblasti tvorby je v digitální době nedosažitelný cíl. Vše, co vytvoříme, je produktem naší zkušenosti, a naše zkušenost je souhrn všeho, co prošlo našimi geny a smysly. Je nutné se s tím smířit. Tvorba už bude VŽDY krádež. Teď jde o to, jak krást (tvořit) se ctí: tedy tak, abychom navzdory všem výpůjčkám přinesli něco nového a měli z výsledků naší práce radost.

Tôi muốn viết một cuốn sách hướng dẫn cho người mới bắt đầu về cách làm việc này: cuốn sách dành cho những ai ghét tự quảng cáo bản thân. Có thể gọi đây là một hình thức thay thế cho tự quảng cáo. Tôi sẽ cố gắng chỉ cho các bạn cách nhìn công việc như một quá trình không bao giờ kết thúc, cách chia sẻ quá trình đó để thu hút những người có thể sẽ hứng thú với công việc bạn làm, và cách xử lý các giai đoạn thăng trầm khi trưng sản phẩm và bản thân ra trước xã hội. Nếu cuốn Steal Like an Artist (tạm dịch: Trộm cắp như một nghệ sĩ) nói về việc vay mượn ảnh hưởng từ người khác thì cuốn sách này nói về việc gây ảnh hưởng đến mọi người bằng cách để họ sao chép ý tưởng của bạn.

Pochodeň tvořivosti, kterou jste získali díky předchozí knize, nyní pokračuje s novými podněty. Austin Kleon opět přináší deset kapitol plných povzbuzení a nadšení pro tvorbu a její sdílení. Tentokrát se zaměřuje na to, že velkorysost vítězí nad géniem a že být vidět a umožnit ostatním, aby "kradli", je klíčem k tomu, stát se známým tvůrcem. Zatímco předchozí kniha nabádala k ovlivňování skrze díla jiných, nyní se zaměřuje na to, jak ovlivňovat ostatní sdílením vlastního díla. Naučíte se, proč a jak sdílet, a s kým. Kleon oslovuje i ty, kteří se zdráhají propagovat sami sebe, a ukazuje, jak představit svou práci a proces tvoření bez pocitu viny. Kniha je určena pro tvůrce, kteří se stydí za své úspěchy. Zjistíte, že nemusíte být génius, abyste mohli sdílet své dílo se světem. Každodenní sdílení vaší práce je cennější než skryté úsilí na životním díle. Objevíte, jak vyprávět příběhy o svých zajímavostech a získáte rady, jak se vyhnout přehnané propagaci a jak čelit obtížím. S pomocí úspěšných umělců minulosti i současnosti pochopíte, že kreativita je způsob myšlení, nikoli pouze talent.

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.

Because if you want to steal like an artist, you need a place to keep your loot.

In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by “stealing” from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journey—getting known. Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time “networking.” It’s not self-promotion, it’s self-discovery—let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive. In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity— what he calls the “ecology of talent.” From broader life lessons about work (you can’t find your voice if you don’t use it) to the etiquette of sharing—and the dangers of oversharing—to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it’s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
