Reseñas de la Crítica

'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 humour. I am aware of no human outside of fiction more qualified to pen this rousing paean to making. I adore this book' (Nick Offerman)

'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)

'This book is creative rocket fuel. Adam is a master maker, and this might be his greatest creation yet - a funny, vulnerable and soulful dive into the beautiful mind of passionate artist. It’s about making stuff, but there is also philosophy, insight, and, most of all, inspiration. This book is so cool!'

Obsession is a way of life

Best way to explain that itch of creation and grasp the need of obsession and loving your work.

Loved it! Great content on creativity and making

If you love creativity and making this is a great book. The beauty of this book is it gave me permission to do the things I was already doing, but thought I was weird doing them.

Just awesome!

Great to listen to, great info and inspirational! I will listen to it again and again!

10/10 listened to it 7 times and still love it

Amazing and would suggest it to anyone with a passion for creating and making. Great for listening to while working on big and small projects

Awesome book Adam

This book has a lot of great organizational tips for all kinds of makers. Adam does an excellent job narrating his book. I have already recommended it to others.

Makes this is a must read

after listening to this you realize the humble beginnings he came from to become world renowned maker he is. Also in a field where information is valuable he shares some basic information that is very useful .

This was Awesome and Helpful

This book was awesome. I expected to get a mix of Adam's classic manic energy, fun stories, and useful factoids. This was even better. I listened to this book while writing my dissertation, and was struggling with a particularly unwieldy chapter. This helped me organize my thoughts better and motivated me to get over the hump. It also gave me plenty of new perspectives on my work, my life, and my hobbies. Thanks Adam!
