Would you like to learn how to come up with new ideas? Do you struggle with figuring out how to do things better for your business or creative endeavors? Then Your Next Big Idea is the book for you. Learning this method, with practice, will help you get up to having over one hundred new ideas a week.

This book takes you on a journey to teaching you how you get from an idea to the best ideas. It includes a variety of methods, tons of ready-to-go exercises, and wonderful information on how to get started on your journey or creating new ideas. Each exercise was immensely helpful and well worth the time.

The author seemed to have done the research and used the methods that he discussed in the book. I loved that he used kids as a good example of their brains being wide open to not stigmas. I think the idea of using play as adults to help free their minds is brilliant.

An example of one exercise is to identify your problems. This began with just what is going wrong with you today. Then the author moved to things that we hate. Lastly, things that we find annoying.

Later in the book, there were some great exercises about stigmas and exercises to help you see past the walls they built for certain situations. The first was finishing pictures that looked like they were scribbles and make them into anything. The next one what are some stigmas that are causing you problems. What are the solutions in your life?

I found this book not only helpful in my pursues of becoming an author, but also in other parts of my personal life. It helped me figure out some ideas for time management. Solutions for some things that I have been wanting to do better like communicating with others, spending more quality time with my kids, and husband. I enjoyed the chapter about finding problems that need a solution and the circle exercise where you just draw in and around the circles and let your mind wander.

The materials in this book could be put to use anywhere from a business to a non-profit organization to a single person trying to decide what they want to pursue next. The formatting is very professional. It was one of the best practical books that I have read. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to get better at anything from business practices to make your personal life better.
