This was a really great compilation of ideas and instructions for ways to work with teams. This includes getting to know you things, working together things, and feedback things. While there's lots of text, I found it was an incredibly easy read, and the instructions were so simple. Some of these I'd heard of, but much of this was knew. My wheels are now spinning as I think of ways I could utilize these. If you're working in an educational or developing some kind of anything space and/or working with collaborative teams, this is a really great read!

I tried listening to this book and it’s not made for that format. It is however a great resource book that I would be happy to have on my shelf - these exercises would be great for me.

This book uses so many words to get an idea across. I get that it recognizes how different the Stanford d.school's environment is from the rest of the world and that it wants to create change in common thought processes, but I think its lofty idealism and academese present a barrier for it to truly connect with the average person living in the "real" world. The second assignment about talking to strangers and asking for their phone number is a prime example of this impressive level of detachment.

A sincerely excellent book that blew my head apart. I read it because I wanted to learn how to become an idea person & came out of it with 100 techniques for creativity, accessible design, leadership—and the realization that I’ve been using all the wrong parts of my brain. I love design stuff like this! It makes me feel alive! My brain has been asleep too long. I’ve recommended this book to everyone human I know. It’s so rich with how-tos and imagination and just cool shit. Dang.

Really enjoyed reading the assignments in this book! I'm planning to use them with first year college students in the fall.
