Story5 out of 5 stars 4
In 1920, at the end of the last major pandemic, global life expectancy was just over 40 years. Today, in many parts of the world, human beings can expect to live more than 80 years. As a species, we have doubled our life expectancy in just one century. There are few measures of human progress more astonishing than this increased longevity.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 163
Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

Publisher's Summary
One of our most innovative, popular thinkers takes on - in exhilarating style - one of our key questions: "Where do good ideas come from?"
With Where Good Ideas Come From, Steven Johnson pairs the insight of his best-selling Everything Bad Is Good for You and the dazzling erudition of The Ghost Map and The Invention of Air to address an urgent and universal question: What sparks the flash of brilliance? How does groundbreaking innovation happen?
Answering in his infectious, culturally omnivorous style, using his fluency in fields from neurobiology to popular culture, Johnson provides the complete, exciting, and encouraging story of how we generate the ideas that push our careers, our lives, our society, and our culture forward.

Very scientific
the book dives deep into the history of ideas and the environments that make them possible. literally dating back to the dawn of life, Johnson makes the case that good ideas are most likely to arise the more the freer the environment. Great thesis but it could have been a touch less thorough.

Great title for a different book
I feel this book does not match it's title. Fabulous book if the title was "Trivia of historic discoveries in time". I wish I had not wasted my time or money. There is valuable content in this book but you will only get a few suggestions that could be said in a few minutes, the other 8hrs or so is a lot of repeating itself over and over rambling on and on.
The reader did a good job so i gave performance 4 stars.
