"[Your Next Big Idea] was one of the best practical books that I have read. I would highly recommend this to anyone..."
—San Francisco Book Review
"Inspiring and fun – especially when compared to the sometimes-staid books on the same topic. The exercises are effective for a wide range of issues, acting as a kind of team-building exercise on a personal level. As many books bombard the reader with ideas, without a real sense of implementation, Your Next Big Idea stands out in the field. Though his book is primarily designed for those in business and marketing, it can be useful to anyone seeking a more hands-on approach to self-improvement."

Featured Reviews
At first, I would like to thank Netgalley and Heard Publishing, LLC for allowing me to review this book. Keep in mind that my review, however, is my true opinion on this book.
What is your next big idea? Do you know? This book might lead you in the right direction. With the brilliant title “Your next big idea”, Samuel Sanders will tell you just how to answer those two questions.
Learn to think more creatively. Yes - it is actually something you can learn. And get better at!
You can learn to do problem solving quicker and better. Being innovative is always a good skill to have around. So why not make your skill even better. You can use this skill in your career and in your everyday life. So why not just learn this skill?
It is actually possible to get 100 new ideas every day. That is 14 ideas per day. And you can learn how to in this book. Keep an open mind and learn how to create new ideas every day!
This book has a lot of great exercises that will help you be more creative. You might find the exercises hard to do at first, but be patient and keep doing them. And by time you will find it easier to do those exercises and you will find yourself being more creative every single day.
I loved those exercises. They were fun, and you can tell a big difference as you improve.
Excellent. I've thought of myself as particularly creative, but always wanted to be creative; and I admire creative people. This is a bit like having a creativity coach in a book. The author has provided excellent step, suggestions, and ideas to help bring out the creativity in readers in accessible ways. Recommended.
I really appreciate the ARC for review!!
This is a book of ideas, generating them, harnessing them, sharing them. It has a lot of exercises and insights and is very creative in its approach. I read an ARC of this book, which I appreciate being able to do, and I believe this is definitely a book to keep on hand and savor to go to again and again.
