I had the privilege to see Fredrik Haren speak at a conference and I was so inspired that I immediately purchased his book. This book helps you think about problems, work and life from a different perspective. Great book!
It's easy to stop being creative in the day to day tasks. This books really helps you get back to having a more free moving mind and inspires you to rethink, improve and create new solutions, services or products. This has been my present I give to all my new clients for many years now and everyone loves it no matter what industry they are from.In one word; Kickass!
So you think you have all the ideas in your mind and can rake it up anytime, anywhere? Think again...Our memory banks are built in a LIFO manner. i.e. We find it easy to remember or recall what went in last. Think about it : What did you have last wednesday for lunch? Now, what did you have yesterday for dinner? Which is easier to recall?So here comes the purpose of having an idea book : I can retrieve my memories, my inspiration and my ideas in a giffy. But did I mention hefty? Yes, at $35 good ones it seems costly to pay for an idea book or a notebook to be frank. But then again, what about some stories to stir that inner magic of yours and take what really matters to the next level. Priceless.It's meaty, it's heavy but it's going to feed thoes ideas you had long thought of but never exhalted. Here's your chance.In essence, this book is not a miracle, nor is it magically. Rather, it's a catalyst for one to exploit and realise what this world now truly needs - a good idea.
I really like the short different stories that Fredrik describes in his book. It's not really a reading book but more an inspiration book that shows the large variety of how creativity can help the world. You can open it, read one story, stop reading, reflect, make some notes and open the book again on another page. Certainly recommended.
A truly inspiring and "different" book on everyday themes! With lots of blank pages to fill in. Use the book. It's looonging to get USED.I have also other books from the same author. As a songwriter these book are indispensable…!
This was an excellent book and I greatly enjoyed reading it. I use it to make short notes. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading more of your books.Prasanna PereraSri Lanka
