| Summary: | There is a dangerous belief that governs how we live and work. It kills the best ideas, stifles ambition and suffocates our natural capacity for creativity. From the soot-covered factory to the glittering heights of Silicon Valley, it has cemented itself as dogma in society for over a century. Being wrong, we're taught, is a symptom of flawed ability. Or worse, a sign of bad character. This book challenges the age-old stigma associated with errors and introduces a toolkit for better ideas, built on the reality that making mistakes is not only normal but a secret of genius when done deliberately. It unpacks conventional wisdom about how we're taught to solve problems in life and work, proving how experimentation, not perfection, is the critical ingredient for original thinking. Whether you are daydreaming about starting something new, grappling with a creative dilemma, or trying to live and work more experimentally, Everything is a Prototype is a field guide for the unknown and uncertain. It challenges deeply held beliefs about our own inventiveness and shares proven methods for finding your best ideas among the noise. Starting with permission and covering vulnerability, consequences, experiments and iteration, it offers a toolkit for navigating the fears and frustrations of whether an idea is worth pursuing or not. |
