"I loved how Edison framed his work, balanced work with play, and read everything. This book is really a blueprint for critical . I am trying to incorporate a few changes at a time. I want to embrace keeping a journal-so far I am wildly unsuccessful."
"I'll briefly paraphrase Innovate Like Edison here. --- Edison was incredibly brilliant. Here's something Stephen Covey wrote about. Edison wasn't just incredibly brilliant, he was sooooo coooool. Here's a quote from Malcolm Gladwell's latest book. Edison was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! That's from Mary Poppins.
Innovate Like Edison is a sycophantic, superficial history of Edison mixed with cursory highlights from the business and self-help literature. The fawning descriptions of Edison were outright painful to listen to by the end of the book. The added barrage of worthless jargon, e.g. "super-value", brought me close to chucking my mp3 player out the car window many times.
I bump my rating up to two stars, "it was ok", because I did learn a few things from the book and Rick Adamson's reading for the audiobook was very good. But I stop at two stars because when I was done, I wish I had spent those 5 & 1/2 hours on any of the books quoted by Innovate Like Edison rather than on the book itself."
