Story
You have been lied to, told there's no alternative, no choice, and that you don’t deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists, and BBC stalwarts. This audiobook makes revolution not only possible but inevitable and fun.

Story
Creativity, Inc. is a manual for anyone who strives for originality and the first-ever all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and “Braintrust” sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about creativity - but it is also, as Pixar cofounder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible”.

this book was informative from the start to the very end. You can usually get everything you need from a book by 2/3rds the way through, but not this one. Read the whole thing.

Bestselling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy (yes), and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius. Shlain shows that no other person in human history has excelled in so many different areas as Da Vinci and he peels back the layers to explore the how and the why.

Think you need a patent? Think again. Many of the products Stephen Key has licensed required no intellectual property protection whatsoever, yet have made millions in royalties. But Key also knows what it takes to protect a big idea. Years ago, after reading about how medication bottles rarely contain enough space for the information that needs to be printed on them, he was inspired to develop an innovative label technology.

Maybe you need a patent and maybe you don't. Listen to this book first before wasting your time. And if you decide you need one, Listen to this book before you waste your money on attorneys.
A great "how to" and an even better "why"!

This is an exceptional book. I have read and listened to probably 30 business related books in the last 2-3 years and I put this one at the top of my list.
It's an easy, short listen, but very powerful concepts. I know this book has been around a while, but it's not out of date.
I am buying copies for Christmas gifts. Everyone can benefit from listening or reading this book.
