Summary
One of our most innovative, popular thinkers takes on - in exhilarating style - one of our key questions: "Where do good ideas come from?"
With Where Good Ideas Come From, Steven Johnson pairs the insight of his best-selling Everything Bad Is Good for You and the dazzling erudition of The Ghost Map and The Invention of Air to address an urgent and universal question: What sparks the flash of brilliance? How does groundbreaking innovation happen?
Answering in his infectious, culturally omnivorous style, using his fluency in fields from neurobiology to popular culture, Johnson provides the complete, exciting, and encouraging story of how we generate the ideas that push our careers, our lives, our society, and our culture forward.

An excellent treatise on Innovation
A wonderful read for anyone interested in innovation and knowledge. Thought provoking and interesting to the general curious reader. One of my favourite books.

Read it and watch the world through new eyes.
Anybody trying to understand creativity and innovation should read this book. It gives you a foundation and puts you in the right mindset to start exploring the world around you.
Even as a Ph.D. student in the field of design, I got something out of revisiting this book. It makes a strong case for concepts like the adjacent possible.
It is well-written with myriads of anecdotes. The narrator reads quotes with an accent, which seems unnecessary and a little racist.
