Bestselling author Peter Sims found that rather than start with a big idea or plan a whole project in advance, they make a methodical series of little bets, learning critical information from lots of little failures and from small but significant wins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReporting on a fascinating range of research, from the psychology of creative blocks to the influential field of design thinking, Sims offers engaging and illuminating accounts of breakthrough innovators at work, and a whole new way of thinking about how to navigate uncertain situations and unleash our untapped creative powers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter is a bestselling author and the founder \u0026amp; CEO of Black Sheep (BLK SHP).

After that, he stumbled into Stanford's Institute of Design and learned product design and design thinking, an experience that helped Peter view himself as a creative for the first time, so he dedicated himself to writing his second book, \u003ci\u003eLittle Bets\u003c\/i\u003e, for all those with untapped creativity. A top resource for innovators, it was selected as one of the six best advice books for entrepreneurs by the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e and Sims has been a senior advisor at X, The Moonshot Factory, Google's semi-secret innovation laboratory. Previously, he cofounded FUSE corps and was part of the initial team of collaborators that started Giving Tuesday, the global philanthropic movement that raised roughly $10 billion in over 100 countries for social good causes. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College and Stanford Business School. In all that he does, Peter feels most at home as a creative entrepreneur and innovator, contributing to making the world a bit more human. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.3 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 16, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52479420530995,"sku":"9781439170434","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZEk4NzFIejVOVVY2SnpQTFZuaTNlZz09.webp?v=1759687148","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/little-bets-how-breakthrough-ideas-emerge-from-small-discoveries-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
