Trade Review
Coming up with ideas is often treated like an ancient religious ceremony: a mysterious process based more on hope than science. Duggan and Murphy effectively debunk the myths around creativity with an accessible, thoughtful, and enjoyable guide to how anyone can come up with novel ideas to solve their most pressing challenges. They show how diverse thinkers, like Pablo Picasso, Mohandas Gandhi, and Reed Hastings, came up with their groundbreaking ideas and present practical exercises to help readers cultivate this same ability. -- David Dabscheck, CEO, GIANT Innovation
