Where Good Ideas Come From
Where Good Ideas Come From by Steven Johnson is a Personal Development book written by TED speaker Steven Johnson, paired here with the talk they gave.
This work tracks the history of innovation in the form of the "slow hunch". The author discusses how new ideas form from the scaffolding of older ideas, a phenomenon he describes as the "adjacent possible". Includes delightful figures of how innovative ideas are shifting from one man with a plan for a profit to many minds working for the public good.
