The Myths of Innovation

About the book

Scott Berkun examines familiar stories about invention and asks how closely they resemble the work that actually produces change. He challenges myths about sudden inspiration, solitary genius, and predictable progress, using historical examples to uncover the contributions and effort those stories leave out. The book connects that revised understanding of innovation to the practical task of developing ideas, overcoming resistance, and bringing something new into the world.
