Reviews

“Wise, funny, and surprisingly poignant, this book teaches us the most important lesson there is: how to be a better human being.” — Bob Goff, New York Times bestselling author of Dream Big and Live in Grace“A hilarious, wise, and inspiring roadmap for life. Kyle Scheele bravely bares his own vulnerabilities to show us that what we reject most in ourselves are often the very things that connect us all as humans.” — Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country“With humor, heart, and a whole lot of cardboard, Kyle Scheele delivers a blast of creative inspiration. Here we have something truly special - a reminder that we each already have the materials needed to live a life packed with beauty and joy.”  — Brad Montague, New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of The Circles All Around Us “Scheele has written a love letter to those of us who struggle through the painful and seemingly endless process of moving on. Scheele gave me permission to celebrate the journey, with its highs and lows, and start a new adventure with nothing left to carry but the hope of what lies ahead.”  — Hugh Weber, CEO of The Great Discontent"This book reads like it was written by someone who is 100 years old because Kyle has packed so much life into such a short time frame. I can't wait to see what you do after you read this manifesto for the beauty of crazy ideas." — Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks: the Surprising Solution to Overthinking  “'No regrets’ is a cliché for a reason: we hate facing our shortcomings! I didn’t think it was possible, but Kyle Scheele makes this important inner work not just easy, but hilarious! The sugary goodness of his storytelling makes this medicine an actual treat.” — Andy J. Pizza, host of Creative Pep Talk podcast“Like John Baldessari, who decided to cremate all his ‘bad art’ and start over, cardboard master and motivational speaker Kyle Scheele shows readers that they really can “burn it all down.” Get this book so you can learn to set your old life on fire before it burns you out.” — Austin Kleon, New York Times bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist
