《點子都是偷來的》作者 Austin Kleon 這次要將你的熱情化為行動，讓世界看見你身上值得偷的好主意！



　　數位時代中發聲管道多元而唾手可得，要如何善用這些管道，助你的專業一臂之力？答案是：將自己真正有熱情的事物透過各種平台與全世界分享，才可能獲得回饋，從中不斷進步。



　　試想一下，你的未來老闆在看你的履歷前，已經讀過你的部落格，並且因此更想用你；甚至你的第一個工作機會來自於你分享在網路上的學生時期計畫？不論分享自己的熱情或專業是否能獲得實質上的回饋，最棒的是找到志同道合的一群人互動共享，開展更多可能。而這一切的起點就是：Show Your Work!



　　找到你最有熱情的領域了嗎？站出來需要勇氣，即使在虛擬世界中也一樣，不要害怕當「業餘」，因為不求回報的熱情正是你最大的助力！本書除了告訴你為什麼該與世界分享自己的想法，更以十個簡單步驟，帶領你好好表達自我，妥善經營那份只屬於你的光和熱。



　　In his New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon showed readers how to unlock their creativity by “stealing” from the community of other movers and shakers. Now, in an even more forward-thinking and necessary book, he shows how to take that critical next step on a creative journey—getting known.



　　Show Your Work! is about why generosity trumps genius. It’s about getting findable, about using the network instead of wasting time “networking.” It’s not self-promotion, it’s self-discovery—let others into your process, then let them steal from you. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, Show Your Work! offers ten transformative rules for being open, generous, brave, productive.



　　In chapters such as You Don’t Have to Be a Genius; Share Something Small Every Day; and Stick Around, Kleon creates a user’s manual for embracing the communal nature of creativity— what he calls the “ecology of talent.” From broader life lessons about work (you can’t find your voice if you don’t use it) to the etiquette of sharing—and the dangers of oversharing—to the practicalities of Internet life (build a good domain name; give credit when credit is due), it’s an inspiring manifesto for succeeding as any kind of artist or entrepreneur in the digital age.
