More Innovation Books: a Reading List 2

Innovation Books for Ideas.

Often I am asked where I get my innovative ideas from?

The answer is many places. Conversations, partly. Blogs, sometimes. Quality journalism, often. Journals and papers, as well.

But more often than not it’s still reading a good (paperback) book.

With that in mind, for 2thinknow, with interns I recently worked on updating our Innovation Reading List. This is a bookstore you can browse for innovation books.

Some of my favourite innovation books are inside — the innovation books reading list. As well, we have included some friends and colleagues popular titles on innovation, and some obscure classics — or related texts. A few surprises await!

It’s a balanced reading list between what is valuable, and what is popular.

Buying Innovation Books.

If you order the books online we get a few shekels, but I’d encourage you to select your favorites and support your local bookstore.

Or to save some shekels yourself — buy online, second hand books and save pre-loved books from the scrap-heap.

If you like you could take the innovation books reading list to your library — and support your local great lending libraries by borrowing a few of these books.

For those who want to advance the eBook — perhaps purchase the Kindle or other eBook edition, where available.

There’s even a few free classic books — such as some Schumpeter or Smith’s the Wealth of Nations, which are in the public domain for the google-ready.

But if you have a decent income, support the (living) authors of newer texts by purchasing. Royalties are not what they used to be!

Read an Innovation Book!

So you have no excuse not to read an innovation book — tomorrow or this week.

Here’s the innovation books reading list again.
