Originals

A great idea is a great start. But it's what you do next that counts.

Originals is about how we can all become more successful in championing our best ideas. Usingh studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports and entertainment, you'll discover the surprising things that set original thinkers apart and how all of us can learn to recognise a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, and get new ideas to stick.

Whether at home or at work, all of us can learn to be Originals.

In certain ways an interesting book, but you only need to skip the preface (uncommonly bad) and read about the first 25 pages to understand the books message. The rest is only pseudo-science that tries to prove the authors point (which I in generally agree with, but...).
