In this episode we talk about creativity and why we should all stop trying to invent something new and just learn to steal like an artist.

This is the second book review episode so go and make yourself a cup of coffee because you are now

because they have a hard time coming up with new ideas, it means that they are not

creative. Well, there's absolutely nothing new under the sun, but of course you've heard that before.

The book I want to review today, however, has a very unique way of presenting that idea.
