Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It
Adam Savage
And of course my recommendation, Adam's own book "Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It." His book is not just about making, building, and creating, but a guide on how to live an organized, joyful, and fun life. (Plus stories of blowing things up.) https://t.co/CJiDQJEUf0
