- Try hard : creative work in progress / by Kerman, Max,author.;
- "Frontman of the multiplatinum band Arkells shares unpretentious stories and inspiration from a life spent chasing his creative passions and making things with friends. Max Kerman might be one of the biggest stars in Canadian music, but it's not for lack of trying. Being a self-professed "tryhard" is a big part of what keeps him going. While some tout the magic of creativity and others imagine creativity as a river flowing in and out of us, Max's thoughts about creativity reflect the realities of everyday people and their everyday lives: If you want more creativity in your life, it's as simple as leaning into your passions -- the things that keep you entertained -- and figuring out how to see your creative ideas through. Try Hard is a book for anyone looking for some daily inspiration to follow their creative instincts or to bring more creativity into their lives, even if being creative doesn't seem like part of your daily life. For Max, creativity is about self-generated action and momentum. It's about keeping yourself entertained and surrounding yourself with people you admire and who make every creative riddle one worth solving. Through formative stories growing up as a pretty average kid in Toronto to lessons he's learned grinding it out with his bandmates, Max shows us how not having a rigid creative process is, in fact, a process, how to find things in common with even the most unlikely collaborators, and how bringing a creative mindset with you into everything you do can lead to a life that leaves you feeling energized"--
