Publisher's summary

Award-winning book.

Best launch on Amazon (September 2023).

"The journey to enlightenment and fulfillment begins with the first step of understanding. The deeper you delve into wisdom, the closer you come to the light of true fulfillment." (Digital transformation manager and innovation professor Nizar M. Benazzouz, PhD)

Picture a world where newness is everywhere and nothing is casual or stable! Through this audiobook, you will be exploring how everything around us, inert or animated, is connected in surprising ways. To achieve this ambitious goal, we will focus on the creative/destructive concept of innovation by:

  • Redefining the vast ocean of innovation beyond the typical business and technological boundaries, to include any natural or human, physical or mental creation serving a purpose
  • Diving into the deep waters of "change", and how this fundamental concept is intertwined with the existence of everything and everyone
  • Challenging and superposing Western science and progress (quantum physics, industrial revolutions, etc.) and Eastern philosophies and beliefs (yin and yang, religions, etc.) to build a comprehensive picture of why and how new objects and concepts come to be
  • Exploring the five components of the timeless innovative pattern: need, motivation, creativity, technology, and value.
  • Providing a thought-provoking outlook into the state-of-the-art of modern human societies and where the wind of change seems to be leading us as individuals and a species.
  • Demonstrating how you are subconsciously innovating your reality every second and how to take control of this process to your and others’ benefit.

Innovation demystified

I was particularly struck by the formula linking need and motivation to creativity and technology, all multiplied by value. This audiobook illuminates the true essence of innovation. The narration is also impeccable

A fusion of styles and genres !

Love the mix of science and philosophy. I've listened twice now though as catching all the nuances from first time is sort of complicated.

Homo Sapiens broken down into pieces of wisdom

The audiobook's journey through the connections between everything around us had me reevaluating my understanding of change. Their unique equation, placing emphasis on both need and motivation and then tying it to the tangible aspects of creativity and technology, is then unified by value. It's as if the audiobook offers a map to the hidden patterns of our world.

A Philosophical Masterpiece on Innovation

I was skeptical at first, diving into a nerdy 'innovation' book. But wow, this isn't just about tech or business really; it's about the universe, spirituality, and us. The narrator took me on an unexpected philosophical voyage

A perspective changer

Gets thrown around a lot, but here? Totally justified. Dr. Benazzouz bridges quantum physics and ancient beliefs like no other. Listening to this was an awakening. Though, I must admit, the narrator's pace was a tad slow for my taste

Profound & Catchy

This isn't your usual audiobook. It's a voyage through time, thought, and consciousness. While the content is undeniably profound, I did find myself wishing for varied tonal shifts in narration
