⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.

Oh 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.

This particular quote by William McKeen got my attention.

Utopiyll Ohh that's exactly what I try to do in a bookstore! I'll just be in there for hours looking through the books and trying to find something I might like 😍 Both approaches are nice! 7y

Book_Bosomed95 I always spend hours at a bookstore or library doing just that! That's why I always leave with about 10x's as many books as I meant to haha 7y

SiriuslyBookish That was me in the library yesterday in the 'new young adult' section... trying not to load my arms with more books than I have time to read... haha 7y

CoffeeCatsBooks I am a sucker for a pretty cover or spine. While online shopping is nice too, I love spending a morning perusing the stacks in a bookstore. I really miss working in one sometimes. 📚 7y

Lyn-Mara Completely agree! There is something deeply satisfying about leaving your TBR list at home and discovering your next read straight from the shelves or better yet from a librarian's recommendation. 7y

Daizy Yes,exactly. The thrill of the hunt! 7y
