Tonight I finished The Idea Book, by the guys at interesting.org. The book is not readily available in the US, but the great folks over at inBubbleWrap.com and 800cr kindly put together a fundable project to get an order of the book shipped to the US from Sweden, and I got in on the deal. By the way, if you are interested in the book, there is a sample of the book (around 35 pages if I remember correctly available here).
150 pages about ideas.
150 pages for your own ideas.
An idea book.
The first thing you notice when opening the book is that the content is interleaved with a number of plain white pages. These are for your ideas. So that you can jot as you read. I was tempted, but instead chose to have a sheet of paper handy for the note taking, in case people want to borrow it.
There is so much great stuff in the book that I could go on and on. Instead I will leave you with one tidbit of advice: Don’t be a PST (Person who has Stopped Thinking). These are the people who continue to do things the same way, all the time,because that is the way it always has been.
Always be willing to question the norm, and look for another way of doing things. I know that I at times (more often then I would like to admit) have been a PST. It is an insideous trap, because while you are stuck in PST mode, chances are good that you do not even know you are stuck! Be willing to accept new ideas. Question everything. Think Different. (your pithy two word statement goes here)
