What's the secret to achieving the impossible? This thought-provoking book will take you through the lives of underdog innovators and help you discover the answers along the way. We are often told to "think outside the box" when solving problems. But in the real world, constraints around our innovation are more real than cardboard. From inaccessible resources to low self-esteem, they stack the odds against us. We are told that success lies in overcoming these disadvantages. But what if the key to innovation is harnessing them instead? Vedika Dayal set out to find answers. She sought a diverse group of underdog founders and discovered that obstacles can be your biggest asset for innovation-if you're intentional about it. In Think Outside the Odds, Dayal weaves together psychological insights, entrepreneurship case studies, and thirteen captivating stories of innovators to show how you can harness the same power of intentionality. How do you start a million-dollar movement making bracelets out of shoelaces? How do you go from housing insecurity to pioneering 3D-printed homes for families in need? By delving into the outer edges of entrepreneurship, you will find unorthodox ideas on how to optimize your environment, conversations, and movement through life's opportunities. In the process, you will unearth a world brimming with possibility-to seize it, all you have to do is dare to Think Outside the Odds.

Download and read online ebook Thinking Outside the Girl Box write by Linda Spatig. This book was released on 2014-01-06. Thinking Outside the Girl Box available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Thinking Outside the Girl Box is a true story about a remarkable youth development program in rural West Virginia. Based on years of research with adolescent girls—and adults who devoted their lives to working with them—Thinking Outside the Girl Box reveals what is possible when young people are challenged to build on their strengths, speak and be heard, and engage critically with their world. Based on twelve years of field research, the book traces the life of the Lincoln County Girls’ Resiliency Program (GRP), a grassroots, community nonprofit aimed at helping girls identify strengths, become active decision makers, and advocate for social change. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the GRP flourished. Its accomplishments were remarkable: girls recorded their own CDs, published poetry, conducted action research, opened a coffeehouse, performed an original play, and held political rallies at West Virginia’s State Capitol. The organization won national awards, and funding flowed in. Today, in 2013, the programming and organization are virtually nonexistent. Thinking Outside the Girl Box raises pointed questions about how to define effectiveness and success in community-based programs and provides practical insights for anyone working with youth. Written in an accessible, engaging style and drawing on collaborative ethnographic research that the girls themselves helped conduct, the book tells the story of an innovative program determined to challenge the small, disempowering “boxes” girls and women are so often expected to live in.

This book was released on 2013-06-11. Inside the Box available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “The ‘inside-the-box approach’ can reveal key opportunities for innovation that are hiding in plain sight” (Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive). The traditional attitude toward creativity in the American business world is to “think outside the box”—to brainstorm without restraint in hopes of coming up with a breakthrough idea, often in moments of crisis. Sometimes it works, but it’s a problem-specific solution that does nothing to engender creative thinking more generally. Inside the Box demonstrates Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT), which systemizes creativity as part of the corporate culture. This counterintuitive and powerfully effective approach to creativity requires thinking inside the box, working in one’s familiar world to create new ideas independent of specific problems. SIT’s techniques and principles have instilled creative thinking into such companies as Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, and other industry leaders. Inside the Box shows how corporations have successfully used SIT in business settings as diverse as medicine, technology, new product development, and food packaging. Dozens of books discuss how to make creative thinking part of a corporate culture, but none takes the innovative and unconventional approach of Inside the Box. With “inside the box” thinking, companies of any size can become sufficiently creative to solve problems even before they develop and to innovate on an ongoing basis. It’s a system that works! “Boyd and Goldenberg explain the basic building blocks for creativity and by doing so help all of us better express our potential” (Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational).
