PICK ME UP

Adam J. Kurtz

A Pep Talk for Now and Later

PICK ME UP will be a “choose your own adventure”-style journal that can be picked up and started on any page.
On the heels of his internationally successful first book, 1 Page at a Time, graphic designer, artist, author and illustrator Adam J. Kurtz delivers another intimate and engaging journal for anyone who loves to explore ideas, record thoughts and feelings, and capture those fleeting but amazing moments of everyday life.

Unlike a typical journal, this book can be opened up to any page, encouraging and engaging time and time again through continued use. Rather than simply complete tasks and turn pages, you are encouraged to leave your mark, and if you land on the same page days or weeks later, you can review, reflect, and revise your previous response.

Like 1 Page at a Time, this fun and uplifting book will delight readers who have taste for quirky observations, offbeat humor, and a charming element of surprise—along with anyone looking for a daily pick-me-up.

Adam J. Kurtz is a Brooklyn-based artist and author whose first book, 1 Page at a Time: A Daily Creative Companion, has been translated into a dozen languages. His "very personal" personal work has been featured in Fast Company, PAPER, NYLON, BuzzFeed, HOW, Refinery29, Design*Sponge and elsewhere. He has collaborated with brands like Tumblr, Urban Outfitters, Fishs Eddy, Strand Bookstore and Brooklyn Public Library, as well as projects for clients including The New York Times, Pepsi and Adobe.

I am so grateful to have Pick Me Up in my life. It saves me so much money on therapy and is way more fun anyway. Stay in, order a pizza and scribble your way out of that deep dark hole.

This book is helping me live my best life and Adam J. Kurtz is my fave therapist!
