Stay Inspired

Brandon Stosuy has assembled a genuinely interesting oral history of creative motivation, pulling in voices like Hanif Abdurraqib and Roxane Gay alongside his own reflections in a format that feels more like a creative conversation than a self-help lecture. At 144 pages it is compact and honest about what it is — not a system, just a well-curated prompt for reflection. If you work in any creative field and feel your spark dimming, this is a smart, low-pressure read.
