The Myths of Innovation
In a way, this book is an excellent bibliography for OTHER books on creativity and innovation. I liked it! I enjoyed it! It was short and sweet, and hammered home (repeatedly) the point that there is NO magic bullet for innovation and creativity - it may not be 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, but the ratio isn't far off. I loved the annotated and "ranked" bibliography, and this has definitely inspired other reading choices for me. It was nice to continue debunking the "linear progress of science/math/technology/knowledge through the ages," and I loved that he not only mentioned historiograhy, he highly encourages all of his readers to go read the seminal book on historiography (the 1960's masterpiece by E.H. Carr - "What is History?"). I liked it, but in the end it's not giving me any more NEW information beyond that offered in other books - hence the lower rating. A good quick read, though - good writing, enjoyable prose. It certainly is a good reminder that ideas are cheap - it's the motivation and stick-to-it-iveness to see your idea reach reality that is in short supply. Speaking of which, perhaps I should get back to my own projects!
