About this listen

IDEO founder and Stanford d.school creator David Kelley and his brother Tom Kelley, IDEO partner and the author of the bestselling The Art of Innovation, have written a powerful and compelling book on unleashing the creativity that lies within each and every one of us.

Too often, companies and individuals assume that creativity and innovation are the domain of the "creative types." But two of the leading experts in innovation, design, and creativity on the planet show us that each and every one of us is creative. In an incredibly entertaining and inspiring narrative that draws on countless stories from their work at IDEO, the Stanford d.school, and with many of the world's top companies, David and Tom Kelley identify the principles and strategies that will allow us to tap into our creative potential in our work lives, and in our personal lives, and allow us to innovate in terms of how we approach and solve problems. It is a book that will help each of us be more productive and successful in our lives and in our careers.

Critic reviews

" Creative Confidence is a myth-busting, muscle-building gem of a book. It shatters the false belief that only some people are creative. Then it provides a smart, practical action plan for boosting your innovative capacities. If you want to be more creative, read the Kelley brothers' words, follow their advice, and then—as they'd tell you - do something!" (Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive, A Whole New Mind, and To Sell is Human)

Some great advice for bringing discipline to the creative process

This book has tons of great ideas. So much so that while listening to the audio book, my mind would hear something that caused me to daydream instead of listening. As such this might make a better hard copy read. Nevertheless, this book contains great real-life examples and practical techniques anyone can use. Very useful info and encourage message.

Just not enough there for me

My expectation was history, examples, methods on stirring creative juices from some of the biggest design innovators out there. There were a few very good tips/techniques on starting and fostering creativity within teams and on the job. But not a lot, and nothing really out of the ordinary or truly eye-opening. Beyond that, a lot of time spent in the story on other subjects about how to be good, respected people.

I'm a designer and it's a great book!

Probably you will even find some answer to your design thinking questions. It will definitely inspire you by examples, which you can use to inspire others too.
