📖 BOOK SUMMARY: Steven Johnson's "Where Good Ideas Come From" explores the environments and processes that foster innovation. Johnson examines seven key patterns—the adjacent possible, liquid networks, slow hunches, serendipity, error, exaptation, and platforms—illustrating how these patterns recur in diverse contexts, from biological evolution to technological breakthroughs. He uses historical examples to show how seemingly unrelated ideas collide and combine, emphasizing the importance of openness, connection, and a tolerance for mistakes in the creation of innovative ideas. The book argues that understanding these patterns can help cultivate more creative and productive environments.
