Get ready to get inspired
In short and engaging entries, this deceptively simple volume presents examples of creative thinkers from the worlds of writing, music, architecture, painting, technology, and more, shedding light on their process, and showing how each of us can learn from them to improve our lives and our work. Subjects range from the grueling practice schedule of the Beatles and the relentless revisions of Tolkien, Sondheim, and Picasso to the surprisingly slapdash creation of The Simpsons. You'll learn about the most successful class in history (in which every student won a Nobel Prize), how frozen peas were invented, why J.K. Rowling likes to write in cafes, and how 95 percent of Apocalypse Now ended up on the cutting-room floor. Takeaways include: - Doubt everything all the time.- Plan to have more accidents.
- Be mature enough to be childish.
- Contradict yourself more often.
- Be practically useless.
- If it ain't broke, break it.
- Surprise yourself.
- Look forward to disappointment.
- Be as incompetent as possible.

Tea
Color: Yellow
A matcha set like the 8-piece ceramic speckled design (with teapot + whisk) is all about completeness, ceramic quality, included tools, and gift presentation. The best sets give you everything needed for a traditional matcha routine while also looking beautiful enough to display.

Cute
Color: Pink
This matcha set feels like good value for the price and works well for making matcha at home. The quality is solid and everything feels durable enough for regular use. The color is really pretty and the design is simple but cute. All the pieces do what they’re supposed to and fit together nicely. It’s a nice set if you want something functional that also looks good.

Description very off, and only 7 pieces no matter how you count it, NO TEAPOT AS LISTED
Color: Yellow
Very disappointed, I ordered this set at this price ($36.89) BECAUSE it clearly lists a teapot included. “COMPLETE 8-PIECE MATCHA CEREMONY SET:** Includes essential tools: Kyusu teapot (with spout), 1 matcha bowls (chawan), bamboo whisk (chasen),2 bamboo scoop , matcha sifter (furui), and stylish black storage box. Everything needed for authentic matcha preparation. “ Their description.
While there ARE only SEVEN pieces, here's the list I made from my set:
1. small cloth 'mat' to set pieces on
2. Chawan ceramic bowl
3. ceramic holder for the whisk
4. bamboo Chasen whisk
5. small bamboo tea powder scoop
6. small bamboo spoon
7. small, cup size, colander or 'sifter' for the matcha powder
It comes in a cardboard box with instructions on how to prepare tea printed on the back, and shipping label stuck to the side. Certainly NOT an ' Elegant Black Gift Box “.
Again, there is NO “ Kyusu teapot (with spout) “ included. And if the chopstick rest in the pictures was meant to be a substitute for the teapot, it's a very poor one. Plus, I didn't get either, no chopstick rest (not mentioned in description) and no teapot. No matter how you count it, it's NOT an '8 piece set”. Hugely disappointing.
The ceramics are nice quality, unmarked works. They are well decorated with the 'speckles', and all edges are smoothly done. Price too high for not being as described.

Super aesthetic and great quality
Super cute set, great value and easy to clean! I’m new to matcha and felt this made it simple! I’ve had it for months and used several times and is still in great shape!
