“Leave home” – from “Steal like an artist” by Austin Kleon

by Emanuela Mae Agrini

steal-like-an-artist-austin-kleon-dreallday.com_“Distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.”
Jonah Lehrer

To say that geography is no longer our master isn’t to say that place isn’t important. Where we choose to live still has a huge impact on the work we do.

At some point, when you can do it, you have to leave at least once.

Your brain gets too comfortable in your everyday surroundings. You need to make it uncomfortable. You need to spend some time in another land, among people that do things differently than you. Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder.

Austin Kleon – “Steal like an artist”

You can buy the book on Amazon at this link Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative (English Edition)
(so you help me cover this blog’s expenses and to buy other books 🙂 ). Thanks!
