I first read this when it first came out and loved it at the time. When it came to re-reading it I discovered that I really couldn’t remember a great deal of detail except the oxycontin addiction and the feeling that the book gives you. It left me with the image of shadowy halls and dark, dirty streets.

Exactly, personal discovery is the best way to learn. This is the kind of idea that some organizations are beginning to convey in their projects, even it support companies or other services, and you can apply this basically to every aspect of your life.

Hey Paula – Thanks for stopping by. True…many of the complaints of this book (and many others) is that there are no formal methods of application. My response to those complaints are: Would you rather have a recipe for doing or understand why you are doing? If you understand “why” you can build your own recipe.

Ditto. I was just commenting back to someone who mentioned that the book was 'light' on practical application of Design Thinking, that the book was entirely made up of applied examples of Design Thinking — that's the ENTIRE book (reminds me of the woman who similarly commented that Richard Saul Wurman's “Information Anxiety” didn't say much about how to apply it and the book itself in it's form was an example of the principles).
