I”m reading Outliers : A Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell, a blueprint of the hidden advantages that got certain people to where they are — from athletes, The Beatles and Bill Gates to even your date of birth. It’s a great “WOW” book. Also Process: 50 Product Designs from Concept to Manufacture by Jennifer Hudson. This book is an in-depth study of the creative and manufacturing processes behind 50 contemporary domestic design objects. I love the thought process involved in making things. You see design morphing though the initial ideas /sketches to the final product. Its always amazing to see how things come to fruition.
