"All of Adam J. Kurtz's words are filled with wit, warmth, wonder
and wisdom." --Alanis Morissette
"Artist and author Adam J. Kurtz does a great job of expressing the
unique anxiety that often comes with being a creative
person. Things Are What You Make Of Them is page after
page of notes that serve as little nudges out of creative slumps
and the negative self-talk that often accompanies
them." --BuzzFeed
"In Things Are What You Make of Them, Kurtz shares mini-essays
of how he deals with the intangibles that can keep people stuck,
overwhelmed, or afraid to move forward. He also confronts the idea
of what concepts like happiness and success look like to people in
creative or more traditional industries." --Refinery29
"The book is divided into 12 color-coded sections, which run the
gamut from the practical -- How to Stay Sane When You Work
from Home and Working with Friends and Family -- to
the existential -- How to Begin Again and How to be
Happier. The advice is geared towards creatives, but honestly,
these nuggets of wisdom are valuable mood boosters for people in
any career path." --Bustle
