역시 이번에도 거꾸로 읽었다.
Show your work! 가 이 책 뒤에 나온듯하다. 별 상관은 없지만.
저자가 책에서도 밝혔듯이, Show your work!가 타인에게 영감을 주기위해 나를 외부에 드러내고 연결하는 내용이라면, 이 책은 반대로 다른 사람들로부터 영감을 얻는 것에 대한 이야기이다.
세상에 어떤것도 오리지널한 것은 없으므로 좋아하는것들로부터 많은 영감을 구하라는 것과 그 방법과 마음가짐에 대해 팁을 제공하고 있다. 작가는 예술가들로부터 많은 인용을 하고 있지만 예술이 아닌 모든 사람들에게 적용할 수 있다고 말하고 나도 공감한다.
