The world is crazy. Creative work is hard. And nothing is getting any easier! Today, the hard thing may not be developing creative ideas but finding the drive to stay on course while living with an overbearing sense of uncertainty. In his long-awaited new book KEEP GOING: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad (Workman Publishing; On-sale: April 2, 2019; $12.95), Austin Kleon shares revolutionary advice on overcoming these challenges and living a meaningful life. A guide to navigating the turbulent modern world, it’s written with a quick, pithy style that hits on greater truths beyond its pages, sharing timeless principles that apply not just to artists but to everyone, whether they are grappling with media oversaturation, lack of focus, or loss of perspective.

Striking the perfect balance of practical and inspirational, Kleon shares his life-changing, illustrated tips on how to stay creative, focused, and true to yourself in the face of burnout and external distractions. Straightforward, actionable steps make this the perfect guide for those needing a boost. Every page is gold: brilliant ideas are interspersed with quirky cartoons, blackout poems, drawings by Kleon’s sons, and photos. KEEP GOING provides a new lens for viewing the world and will appeal to everyone, not just those in creative fields. As Kleon says at the end of the book, “Every day is a potential seed that we can grow into something beautiful.”

Drawing on wisdom from great thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin, filmmakers John Waters and Francis Ford Coppola, artists Corita Kent and Nina Katchadourian, and modern figures like Marie Kondo and Anthony Bourdain, KEEP GOING is a practical and inspirational manifesto for succeeding in any endeavor.
