Background
Austin Kleon is an Artist and a Writer. This book is a collection of his ideas about how sharing your work, no matter what field it is in, will be of benefit to you and the overall community. I found this copy in my local library business section. It can be bought here:
www.amazon.co.uk/Show-Your-Work-Getting-Discovered/dp/076117897X

Review
While this may be a very quick book to read (a couple of hours will suffice to take all of it in) the ideas contained within it make such perfect sense and I would strongly suggest you read it. It doesn't matter whether "your work" is creating art (consider a master of the composite world of Style Italiano), Science (consider an implant guru on the R.I.P.E. forum), Business (have you checked out the Dentapreneurs group?), or Ideas (maybe this is my field within dentistry?). The main idea is that by sharing your work you will be connecting with an audience of like-minded individuals therefore opening yourself up to new ideas and allowing your work to progress even more. It will also act as your best portfolio so if any potential patients, employers, lenders, colleagues wish to find out more about you they can do so with ease and get an honest reflection of what you do.

Learning points related to Dentistry
  • Document what you do. The act of documenting it will allow you to reflect upon it and improve it next time.
  • Share your work with others. They can give you praise to keep you sane and critique it to help you improve.
  • Enjoy teaching others. Even if you only know a little about a specific subject, that knowledge may help others more than you realise.
