'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 * 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 *
