Miło było móc pracować z Po prostu zacznij. Myślę, że dzięki książce tej bardzo dobrze zaczęłam ten rok i cieszę się, że trafiła do mnie w momencie, w którym jej potrzebowałam. Polecam Wam sięgnięcie po nią, bo naprawdę potrafi rozruszać, rozbawić i zainspirować.

كتاب جميل و فكرته مميزة، يساعدك على التخلص من التسويف و التأجيل و البدء بشكل أسرع عن طريق تمارين أكثر و كلام أقل .

What a clever and inspiring book that any artist, be they beginners or masters, will enjoy. Lee Crutchley gives great prompts to unblock even the most obstinate of creative blocks with this slender volume. This book will become a keepsake for the recipient who is lucky enough to receive it!

The Art of Getting Started by Lee Crutchly was a fun little book. It was encouraging and would make me be creative. If you are looking for something encouraging, something that helps you not procrastinate and something creative, then this is the book for you.
