Review
"Steven Paley gets it exactly right. Invention is both an art and a science and it starts with an appreciation for technology, a keen sense for business opportunities, and above all a deep understanding human need. It also requires a childlike curiosity, a sense of wonder, and the optimism to believe that you can make a difference. Read this book and be inspired."
—Bill Burnett, executive director of the Product Design Program and
consulting assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University
“A must-have for any inventor. Easy to read and understand with simple, clear examples. The Art of Invention teaches creative thinking in a way that inspires us to invent. Through numerous practical examples and fascinating case studies, Steven Paley guides us on a journey through the world of creativity in engineering. This is the first book that I have ever seen that shows both the aspiring and experienced inventor a clear path to successfully fulfill their goals.”
