Every Tool's A Hammer by Adam Savage
The golden rules of creativity from Adam Savage, star of Mythbusters
'Adam has drawn for us an imperative how-to for creativity that goes well beyond scissors, saws and glue, to include vulnerability, self-confidence and self-deprecating humourI am aware of no human outside of fiction more qualified to pen this rousing paean to making. I adore this book.' -- Nick Offerman * Star of Parks and Recreation *
'Careful, close, often repetitive work lets the brain wander back and forth, from the micro-task literally at hand to the bigger problems, solutions, insights and emotions that we usually drown out with stimulus. Believe me when I say: when you’ve made as many Blade Runner blasters as Adam Savage has, you’ve learned a lot about yourself. Adam has stocked up a lot of deep thought and deeper wisdom: about how to make things large and small, decisions large and small, and how to make sure you’re making the things that matter. Consider this book as a 3D print out of Adam’s brain, and be glad you have it.' -- John Hodgman * Bestselling author of The Areas of My Expertise *
