I found the writing a bit dry and Aristolean (a bunch of lists). I liked that the book didn't try to stretch any further than it needed to be (~150 pages) On my copy, beneath the dust jacket, the spine text goes from the bottom up, as on German books. Is this standard? The author gave a presentation at Google which is available online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOkGaj... Loved this book. Full review here This book gives you a firm grounding in the challenges that you will face as an innovator. Challenges will come form the misconceptions you have about how things will proceed AND from how other people will challenge you. I liked the chapter "Good ideas are hard to fine", it really opened me up to new ways of thinking, sometimes it's as simple as being more observant. Also the chapter "Problems and solutions" is one of my favorite topics. It reinforces the importance of context when talking about a problem. 0.075 seconds to build listing
