This audiobook is from 2009 so there are some anachronistic moments like mentioning yellow pages and similar antique concepts (by 2024 standards).

Taking those aside this is a decent primer on how to start your adventure with inventing & innovations.

There are some checklists that are valid to this day.

There's some name-dropping, although it's not a hindrance and that's good.

Overall - author's views and opinions can be helpful to starting inventors I think. The publication is lightweight, easy to digest and due to basic language used (it's a business book after all) it's not a deterrent for some people who think that inventions & innovations are only for nerds, eggheads or geniuses.

I'd say - listen to this one, then if you're hooked up on this innovation & inventions idea then pursue further knowledge from TRIZ, SIT or even USIT methodologies and sets of tools.

Good primer on starting your inventions adventure
