Publisher's summary

A surprisingly simple approach to help everyday people become everyday innovators.

The pressure to generate big ideas can feel overwhelming. We know that bold innovations are critical in these disruptive and competitive times, but when it comes to breakthrough thinking, we often freeze up.

Instead of shooting for a $10-billion payday or a Nobel Prize, the most prolific innovators focus on Big Little Breakthroughs - small creative acts that unlock massive rewards over time. By cultivating daily micro-innovations, individuals and organizations are better equipped to tackle tough challenges and seize transformational opportunities.

How did a convicted drug dealer launch and scale a massively successful fitness company? What core mindset drove LEGO to become the largest toy company in the world? How did a Pakistani couple challenge the global athletic shoe industry? What simple habits led Lady Gaga, Banksy, and Lin-Manuel Miranda to their remarkable success?

Big Little Breakthroughs isn’t just for propeller-head inventors, fancy-pants CEOs, or hoodie-donning tech billionaires. Rather, it’s a surpassingly simple system to help everyday people become everyday innovators.

Big Little Insights!

Another hit from Josh Linkner! Josh’s use of storytelling makes entrepreneurial success stories relatable and digestible. He humanizes how an “average” person can turn an idea into something much larger, leaving you inspired and hungry to take action.

Great Examples

Yay! Not just another “Steve Jobs” example book! Love that small-time innovators who created big results are featured. People who had great ideas but even better creative execution of the idea, succeeding without huge budgets (usually) or big names. Well done. Very inspiring.

Huge Breakthrough!

Josh Linkner delivers again with his new book. The idea around small incremental change leads to great change is exactly what i needed to hear. Highly recommend! Love that he narrates his own masterpiece.

Good listen-Notbing groundbreaking

I enjoyed the listen, and you can hear the passion in the reader's voice. Lot's of interesting stories, but also a little like a multi-hour motivational speech. I would recommend, but would liken it too the lettuce and tomato of a BLT, not the bacon. It makes what you have better, but isn't the foundation from which you start.

Not Bad But Not Great

There are nuggets of helpful information throughout this book but it lacks consistency and polish. At times the author talks about his own best practices and at others he focuses on the work of other people. The most obvious area for improvement, in my opinion, is the final audio production. There are several times where the narrator gets cutoff, mid-sentence, only to start the sentence over. I don't think the final recording went through a very rigorous proofing process, which makes the final version somewhat distracting at times.
