Where good ideas come from : the natural history of innovation

The printing press, the pencil, the flush toilet, the battery?these are all great ideas. But where do they come from? What kind of environment breeds them? What sparks the flash of brilliance? How do we generate the groundbreaking ideas that push forward our lives, our society, our culture? Steven Johnson?s answers are revelatory as he identifies the seven key patterns behind genuine innovation, and traces them across time and disciplines. From Darwin and Freud to the halls of Google and Apple, Johnson investigates the innovation hubs throughout modern time and pulls out applicable approaches and commonalities that seem to appear at moments of originality. What he finds gives us both an important new understanding of the roots of innovation and a set of useful strategies for cultivating our own creative breakthroughs.Steven Johnson's next book, Future Perfect, will be available Fall 2012 from Riverhead Books.?

  • "Wann werden aus unseren guten Ideen bahnbrechende Innovationen? Wie kommt das Neue in dei Welt? Gute Ideen sie sind viel mehr als Geistesblitze oder Heureka-Momente. Gute Ideen entstehen unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen. Erfolgsautor Steven Johnson hat auf seiner faszinierenden Reise durch die Geschichte der Innovationen und Erfindungen die sieben Muster gefunden, die Inspiration und Innovation in uns allen fördern."
  • ""El tópico dice que es de madrugada, que el genio está solo en su despacho o en su laboratorio, inclinado sobre un trabajo absorbente que le aparta del mundo, cuando... flash!: le llega la idea como por milagro, como un chispazo repentino que le hace gritar "eureka". Pero Steven Johnson argumenta en este libro que ese tópico es la excepción y no la regla. Según esta fascinante, accesible, entretenidísima "historia natural de la innovación", las ideas llegan a los cafés antes que a los laboratorios, a los barrios céntricos antes que a las casas aisladas y a las salas de reunión antes que a los despachos del último piso. En este libro se narra la aparición de la contabilidad de doble entrada, la imprenta o YouTube con un mismo espíritu: el ansia de averiguar cómo se abre paso una idea revolucionaria, cómo funciona la creatividad y cómo afectan el mercado, las patentes y los derechos de autor a la salud de las ideas. Y esa narración nos permite entender dónde están las raíces de la innovación, y a la vez nos brinda muchas estrategias útiles para cultivar nuestras propias buenas ideas." --Contratapa."@es
