Summary of Austin Kleon's Steal Like an Artist

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 When we stop trying to be original, we can embrace influence instead of running away from it. We can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and instead embrace influence.

#2 You are a mix of what you choose to allow into your life. You are the result of your influences. German writer Goethe said, We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.

#3 The artist is a collector. He only collects things that he really loves. Your job is to collect good ideas, and the more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by.

#4 You should try to study one thinker, writer, artist, or activist you love. Then find three people that thinker loved, and learn everything about them. This will help you feel part of a creative lineage.
