About the author

At the age of 19, Andrii obtained his CCIE (Certified Cisco Internetwork Expert) certification, the most respected certification in the IT world, and became the youngest person in Europe to hold it.

These and other experiences have taught Andrii that success in any endeavor doesn't as much depend on the amount of experience you have but rather on the processes that you are using.

A short, quick, and to the point kind of book. Not a specific system but rather a collection of different strategies that can be used to create ideas. While some of the descriptions were brief and could have used a little more explanation, I enjoyed the approach Andrii has in his writing. He does a solid job at being relatable with the reader while making things interesting with stories and numerous examples. Some strategies definitely had a stronger connection with me than others, but that’s to be expected as everyone thinks in their own unique way. However I appreciated how all of these strategies can give the reader optimism that brilliant ideas aren’t just reserved for the entrepreneurial “geniuses” we hear about. Everyone is capable of coming up with great ideas with a bit of creativity and their own systems of getting there.

Another great business book from Andrii. In order to create ideas you need to have your mind working in the right way. Andrii spends the first few chapters going over that with several exercises you can do to help yourself generate ideas. He then goes on to explain how to use your ideas and make them better and better. He has a great process that he takes you through to make your ideas the very best. The only down side is there is no quick links for the chapters on the side bar, only in the table of contents. However, I'm reading from the Kindle app on my laptop, I'm not sure if it's different on other devices. Other than that, the book is great for anyone who wants to start a new business, invention, or just make their life more fulfilling.

خب این کتابو به پیشنهاد نشر آدینه به عنوان اولین تجربه و فعلا آخرین در زمینه ترجمه کتاب، خودم ترجمه کردم. هرچند که تجربه ترجمه متون این سبکی برای وبسایتهای مختلفو داشتم ولی‌ کاملا یه حس متفاوت داشت و به شما هم پیشنهاد میکنم توی هر حوزه ای که میتونید و علاقه دارید دست بکار شید. خود متن اصلی کتاب به شدت شیوا و ساده مطالب رو بیان کرده و منم تمام تلاشمو کردم مطالبو به همین سادگی به فارسی برگردونم :) خیلی خیلی دوس دارم دوباره فرصتی دست بده و بتونم یه کتاب دیگه ترجمه کنم :))

Simple, straightforward and at times enlightening, this was a great book to start the new year with.

Sedniev's approach is entertaining - stories and metaphors abound, but the book does make you think, and want to develop your own system for creating business ideas.

Well worth a read if you're entertaining the idea of unleashing the creative you this year.

[Lake Lopez · Rating 5 out of 5]

A worthwhile investment in reading time for anyone who wants to live a creative life. I'm using one idea in particular on a nightly basis.

Wonderful book, well written, fun to read

There are plenty of examples in this book. This is inspirational book as well, and motivates to think creatively. Gets confidence after reading that ideas generation is possible for every one of us and it doesn't need any special gifted skill but one can achieve it with consistent practice.

[David Padovich · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book of some new ideas

This is a fun book with some good insights. I learned its easier to improve on something already invented than trying to come up with new ones. Doesn't tell you a specific idea they will tell you, but tells you on other sucessful people on how they came up with that and improve your chances on coming up on it.

Excellent resource for generating great ideas!

I would recommend this book to anyone who feels stuck generating ideas for their life or career. Simple but proven techniques and great explanations in this easy but interesting read that would help anyone! Definitely a 5 star rating!

[Marco Neves · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting collection of ideas on how to enable the creative brain. The author calls it "the business idea factory" but it could have been the anything idea factory, as there is very little in the book that is specific for business idea generation.

Not a bad read and a lot of ideas to try if you don't do them yet - most creative people probably do most of them.

[Eddie · Rating 3 out of 5]

To be honest I was a little disappointed, it's not so much a system as it is a bunch of helps for brainstorming ideas. Granted I think some of the ideas are pretty good, however it isn't so much a system and that is what I was expecting.

[Jayce Tohline · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simple, concise, valuable insights.

There are plenty of books about dreaming and setting goals. But you must have the quality idea, first. Read the other books, but read this one first.

[Antonio Youssif · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great toolkit for self and business improvement!

Light and fast reading fast understanding, loved the book, examples and motivation. Read it, practice it, practice it, practice it, practice it, practice............

[Cytania · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short fun book to read. The content of the book can be implemented in every area of life not just business. It teaches the strategies of thinking and how to creatively generate great ideas. For me this book contains some gems to implement in my daily life.

[Benjamin Mineif · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book that provides some important and interesting insight into how to generate ideas. While it doesn’t go deeply into the reasonings behind why these processes produce the results they do, it’s easy to see how effective putting these into action would be in producing good ideas more often.

A must book to be a creative thinker

You will enjoy the entire book and each Page of It. It has a solid valuable content. Its a well written book with a lot of examples. It changes your thinking method.

[Rob · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a good book, my rating was honestly on the border of a 3-4 star. I really liked it, Andrii Sedniev is a very impressive man, and a very impressive author. I learned a lot of things in this book that I can apply. The only thing holding it back from a solid 5 star rating was that it didn't have as many specific techniques used to generate ideas as I would've liked. But the philosophy behind generating ideas that he shared did help me.

[Nathan Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book contains a large range of solid techniques for creating business ideas that I believe will help me immensely in the near future. This book does, however, assume you already know the "problem" or have done the research to know where to begin in your business idea search. These techniques only apply to the process after that.

[Pablo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book! It opened up the world of creativity for me. It appears I wasn't approaching it the right way, but now I know quite a bit more about how creativity works. Just finished reading and haven't tried any of the ideas in the book, but I'm very eager to begin! I'm sure I'll improve greatly my creative muscle. Thank you Andrii for writing this.

[Fred Bairn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for ideas

As I read this book I had to stop often. My mind kept coming up with ideas. Overall the concepts are well laid out. They will work for any creative ideas you may need.

[Matt]

Really gets the brain thinking!

I have began to implement the ideas in this book and they have really got my brain churning. If you seem to be stuck on an idea or are just seeking general knowledge this is a great book to read.

[Anastasios Pardalis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book a couple of months ago. It is a very easy read. many of the practices in the book make sense and I found myself having the "oh yeah, I know" moment more than enough times. Overall worth reading

[Navin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super cool!

A quick read with several small techniques. All the doable action steps would tell you that you are certainly a storehouse of ideas.
And yes, learn to appreciate your subconscious. :)
