Anthpo: Dumb Internet Banksy

This book, which began as a speech given by Austin Kleon to college students, expands into a manifesto for creativity. It outlines ten transformative principles such as 'Steal like an artist' (honoring, studying, and transforming ideas), 'Don’t wait until you know who you are to start making things,' and 'Use your hands' (emphasizing physical work). Kleon argues that creativity is not original but builds on what came before, and he provides practical tips and inspiring concepts for artists, writers, musicians, and anyone generating creative work[2][3][4].

In 'Your Head Is a Houseboat,' Campbell Walker demystifies complex concepts in psychology and mental health through bizarre metaphors and illustrations. The book uses the houseboat as a metaphor for the mind, highlighting the need for maintenance and cleaning to avoid being weighed down by unwanted thoughts and opinions. It includes journal exercises and features characters like the Sea Captain and animalistic desires to help readers understand and manage their mental landscape. The book is praised for its funny, warm, and helpful approach to mental wellness and personal development.
