Good primer on starting your inventions adventure

This audiobook is from 2009 so there are some anachronistic moments like mentioning yellow pages and similar antique concepts (by 2024 standards).

Taking those aside this is a decent primer on how to start your adventure with inventing & innovations.

There are some checklists that are valid to this day.

There's some name-dropping, although it's not a hindrance and that's good.

Overall - author's views and opinions can be helpful to starting inventors I think. The publication is lightweight, easy to digest and due to basic language used (it's a business book after all) it's not a deterrent for some people who think that inventions & innovations are only for nerds, eggheads or geniuses.

I'd say - listen to this one, then if you're hooked up on this innovation & inventions idea then pursue further knowledge from TRIZ, SIT or even USIT methodologies and sets of tools.
