Every Tool's a Hammer: Life Is What You Make It by Adam Savage

2.0

2.5 stars, right down the middle. I wanted to like this book more, I really did. It just didn't do it for me. More theoretical instead of practical like I love. And the stories weren't as engaging. Plus he didn't dive deep into his childhood and instead glossed over it.

The only thing I learned is that cutting paper with scissors really dulls them.

I liked this bit: "Humans alone expand our understanding of the universe by swapping stories of what we see and what we have seen. Making is one of the principal ways that we share and have shared our stories."

"The things we love tend to make as quite vulnerable." Isn't that ironic.
