Insight Out audiobook

I see that many reviews weren’t happy with the organization of the book. I can understand that. However I found that listening to the author read the book over audio was very engaging and I think it helped with the thought process and flow of the text. I enjoyed it. I love that it is scripture based and I walked away with new ways of managing my thoughts and connection with God and others. I recommend it and would read it again.

It's quite amazing to see someone put words on topics and insights on a concept as difficult as design thinking. I have done quite some work in design thinking, human-centered design, and changing frame of reference for thinking/looking at daily things in life so a lot of the ideas were not new to me hence I am not mindblown enough to give it a 5 star.

Some of the ideas in this book are not new to me, but Seelig’s perspective on innovation is. She makes a very clear connection between the innovation process and personal development. The many personal assignments in the book are clearly based on a lot of experience. Recommended!

Tina's writing is always useful and peppered with great stories from her experiences at Stanford.

Interesting thoughts on respecting the flow of creativity.

Bland Malcolm Gladwell-esque book jacket design. Promises of all your dreams coming true. A one-sentence idea delivered in four sections. Large type and line spacing to artificial inflate the number of pages so it feels like a 'real' book. A surprising number of blanks pages dedicated for you to take notes. Hokey wordplay for a title. Books like this are supposed to be bad. This one is not. I had the impression that Insight Out would be about going from rags to riches through some improbable formula. It is that, but it is also Tina Seelig ceaselessly demonstrating how much she genuinely cares for her students (who were the inspiration for this book) and by extension her readers. Just look at the Index and References section! Writers who don't love their work, don't do this. The act of bringing something from within out into the world is an intense and difficult process and Seelig understands this better than most. Her writing, in many ways, conflates the idea of starting a business with personal development and reflection. It can be read either way and whichever path you choose, you're likely to be touched by notes of the other.The exercises at the end of the chapter are open-ended and surprisingly inviting. Even just pondering them for a few seconds will lead to some real revelations. You couldn't ignore them even if you tried.The later chapters take on a kind of 'greatest hits from other self-help books' vibe. I originally thought this was a little cheap, but then realized that it's actually the greatest thing ever. I was taking notes on every page. Having studied interaction design in graduate school, the brief section on pretotyping (borrowed from Alberto Savoia's book by the same name) actually blew my mind. Why had no one taught me this and why is such a fabulous idea hanging out in this little "Now That's What I Call Entrepreneurship 15" book. Moments like this happen frequently in Insight Out. I would recommend this book to just about everyone.

Tina Seelig provides a light framework to distinguish the place of creativity and ideas. The Invention Cycle inside includes: imagination to creativity to innovation to entrepreneurship... and round again. The book includes well thought mini personal projects for you to hone your abilities in each component of the cycle.Will become a 5 stars after I decide to complete the projects... so 4/5 cos it's my fault. haha.

Simple and neat, wonderful bookFirst imagine, yes, you will understand whether your passion is true unless you engage.. Author emphasis that first you engage in different activities then some activity will give you utmost satisfaction. Then catch hold and be creative, it will take you to innovate a concept or a product Do prototype before full fledged.. A kind of little betsGreat book

Some things come down to perspective, and others to clear and accurate thinking. This book shows you how to progress. Here Seelig continues the work that she started in her two other books, taking the time here as well to give you examples and guidelines so that you can try out the methods for yourself. A great read!

Very helpful for anyone who has ideas but can't quite seem to bring them to fruition. Great exercises with practical applications to everyone from artists to engineers. I checked the book out from the library. I'll probably buy it now.

Quite liked this one, some new ideas I hadn't heard of or just framed in a new wayI actually want to do some of the projects suggested in this book.

I liked everything about this book. It gives an experience besides explanation with pictures and paints of what the writer's points. It was an excellent one.

Great book
