网友对Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation的评论
炒鸡快 第一次用亚马逊买书 竟然这么快 到是书是帮一个学霸同学买的 应该不错吧！
The author probed stories behind the inventions and discoveries and connected seemingly irrelevant pieces together to form an interesting large picture. Nice reading experience.
有点上当，又小又薄，不如买套古典名著
Nice book, but price is higher than other website.
Quality of the printing is just so so.
Most certainly will revisit this book because it was very nice. Steven Johnson gives a great analysis of where some of the best ideas came from. The main reason I give this 5 stars is for his strong conclusion as well as his appendix which is almost like a cheat code for a reader because it leaves you with a timeline for some of the greatest ideas ever. This is a game changer because this is the kind of book that pushes you to pursue more knowledge and definitely encourages further reading and research.
I would definitely recommend this book to wantrapreneurs and entrepreneurs alike because it may teach the entrepreneur to keep persisting and to remain patient while doing so, and the wantrapreneur may finally receive that last nudge towards entrepreneurship from this book.
"Where Good Ideas come From" by Steven Johnson was given to me as a Christmas gift by someone who knows I love reading about how ideas originate and where common things we use today originated. It was not exactly what I expected, but still very good. It was less about individual case studies and more about ideas in general, and how a setting can effect ideas and implementation. A very interesting read and leaves you with a lot to take away from it. There is also an index of important inventions and when they were invented and by who in the back which was an interesting thing to look through as well.
Overall, the book was written at a very high level when it comes to Where Good Ideas Come From, which was an interesting approach with examples thrown in for good measure. I am very glad I received and read this book, even if it wasn't what I expected.
tl;dr An interesting read on the general nature of ideas, not case studies
I purchased this book after enjoying his earlier work so much, "How we Got To Now." And it did not disappoint. The earlier book gave me a greater appreciation for all the everyday stuff we take for granted (steel, glass, concrete, etc) and this one showed the power of cross-fertilization in solving problems. Printing was already being used but Gutenberg's idea of implementing the wine press used in Germany took it to another level.
He is not shy in contrasting this shared knowledge with the "silo-building" of the FBI that continues to fail our country by isolating key information from other agencies like the CIA. I remember reading after 9/11 that the failures of sharing vital information of national security was to be fixed by the creation of Homeland Security. Then the bombing at the Boston Marathon occurs and the investigation shows "silo-building" was again in play between the the CIA and the FBI,
At least the folks in the private sector understand the value of creative thinking.
this book was alright. I had to read it for my freshman composition class in college. I bought a used copy and it was in great condition! would definitely purchase from the seller again. steven johnson did present many ideas that i wouldn't have thought about before. very interesting book!
my star review system:
5 stars- the product has little to no design flaws and served its purpose to the fullest extent
4 stars- the product has some design flaws. I can deal with these flaws, but they can be improved for future products
3 stars- the product is decent but does not serve its purpose well, most likely will return the product
2 stars- the product has major design flaws and is a waste of space and money
1 star: the product is unusable and will be returned promptly
As fluffy quasi-technical bestsellers go, this one was pretty good. Good enough, in fact, that after reading it I bought two additional copies which I used as thank you gifts in a professional setting. Pros: lovely meditative writing style, with lots of nature imagery. A small number of really good ideas about innovation, and many helpful examples. Cons: a little bit meta, a little bit strange. Specifically, he also discusses his own technique for managing a database of quotes and ideas; then you realize that the work itself is based on this collection, which accounts for some portions of the book that are a bit thin or lacking in through line. Or maybe more deeply explicated than what the point is worth. For some readers this might actually be a positive, an inspiration, a fresh or original element. Because I lean to denser, more technical works (George Eliot, anyone? (; ), to me it's a disadvantage. One ought to do better at hiding the machinations. It would be either a good beach read, for a technical person, or a striking source of inspiration, for a more artsy one. If you don't want to get it and read it, you could settle for looking up 'the adjacent possible'.
