Book Review: Show your work by Austin Kleon

In the last few years, we have seen the rise of a new class of ‘Creators’. No more is the space dominated only by big productions, media houses, and celebrities creating widely-viewed content.

The work of the common folks (who are very talented) is being seen and admired by millions. Sharing your work is the new way to gain success in today’s digitally connected world.

In such a world Austin Kleon’s book “Show your work” is a masterpiece for the times. In his book, Austin compiled 10 simple yet profound ways to share your creativity and get discovered.

It is a very simple read with a lot of creative images conveying the essence of the chapters. Another thing you will notice is the size of the book, it is square in shape which makes it stand out. Proving his point of ‘Being creative to get discovered’. That is definitely smart.

The most important lesson from the book:

“What matters the most is not showing your best work, but showing that you are making progress.”

A short, insightful, and must-read book.
