A solid argument for how good ideas become reality and the environments needed to cultivate and grow ingenuity. Johnson focuses on, how he claims, Darwinistic evolution is perfect paradigm of what a creative environment should look like. He also demonstrates nicely the history and path that many innovative and culturally shifting ideas took in order to be where they are today. #Nonfiction #historical #creative Bill Gates recommendation.

I'm excited to dig into this title that #BillGates recommends.
pickOh wow, what a fantastic book. It presents numerous case studies of innovative ideas and the environment and context in which these came about. You will sure change your perception of how inventionts come to be. The author also makes a comparison between cities and he animal habitat in ways that make you think how interconnected the two are without even realising. Highly recommend it.
pickWow with so many relatable examples this is one hell of an awesome book.
