The most successful inventions often begin with an impulse of ridiculous and brilliant ideas. This book encourages people of all ages to engage themselves in the innovation process, sparking the intellect with undeniable, inspirational valor.
With nearly 200 pages of hysterical, action-packed photos of the creatively crafted inventions in use, people can see how almost any brilliant idea might have been perceived as ridiculous. Winner of the Parent’s Choice Award, the book teaches people how to come up with creative and wild ideas that just might work, how not to take yourself too seriously, and how to be willing to fail in order to succeed.
Authors, John Cassidy, founder of Klutz Press, and Brendan Boyle, IDEO partner and founder of IDEO’s Play Lab, combined their playfulness and innovative design thinking to conceptualize hundreds of ideas and actually build 162 physical representations of their highly imaginative contraptions.
