The Art Of The Idea: And How It
Can Change Your Life
by John Hunt (illustrated by Sam Nhlengethwa)

In The Art Of The Idea, Hunt addresses everyone,
from the global boardroom to the person on the
street, bridging the gap with ease. Few can argue
with Hunt’s claim that it is ideas that move the world
forward, and he refreshingly articulates that anyone
can play; there is no hierarchy to original thinking.
The Art Of The Idea provides a toolbox for achieving
excellence and offers a new way of defi ning your
world. By illustrating how to create space so that ideas
can breathe, it provides a lifeline to those who fi nd
themselves stuck in a rut. The book grants permission to trust
your instincts, endure initial ridicule and practise thinking as a team sport.
