Steal Like an Artist is an inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, presenting ten transformative principles to help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life. It is among the best books on filmmaking.
Nothing is unique, so embrace influence, educate yourself through the work of others, remix, and reimagine your own path. Follow your interests wherever they lead you—what appears to be a hobby may turn out to be your life's work. Instead of writing what you know, write the book you want to read or make the movie you want to watch.
Finally, stay smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in your daily life so that you can be wild and daring in your imagination and work.
