Scheme the impossible! Turn your vision into reality! Transform what if into what’s next! Discover how to make your ideas work for you with this transformative guide from Stanford University’s d.school.
“An operator’s manual to design thinking.”—John Maeda, Vice President of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft
Possibility is the ability to see something in your imagination and materialize it in real life. You already possess (almost) everything you need to make things happen—Make Possibilities Happen helps you find your way.
Discover tools and strategies for overcoming the hang-ups that prevent you from getting things done or even starting. Learn exercises for building the creative capacity of your brain. Explore ways to build on the momentum of your work so that you can keep going. Award-winning author Grace Hawthorne shares insights, ideas, and activities from the Stanford University d.school courses she teaches, as well as scientific research and entrepreneurial escapades to get you thinking productively toward making possibilities a reality.
It’s hard to begin, uncomfortable to not know, natural to question yourself, easy to be impatient, and challenging to swallow setbacks. This book addresses all of these hurdles and walks you through four main stages of turning your idea into reality: SEE (imagine what’s to come), START (just begin, this is everything), DO (show up and work), and FINISH (follow through).
You can positively alter your life—and other people’s lives—by making the inklings of your imagination real. All you need to do is pick up this book and START.

      Principal author Grace Hawthorne presents the chapters of this intelligent guide with appealing assertiveness while two Stanford colleagues deliver brief segments with equal authority and charm. Hawthorne's vocal confidence makes these coherent ideas even more arresting among the sea of published advice available on creativity and getting things done. Most interesting is how this advice avoids psychological navel-gazing by focusing on starting and sustaining pertinent action. After convincing listeners that they can train their brains to think expansively, Hawthorn dives into the explicit steps one can take to get projects started and to keep the momentum going when inevitable frustrations and distractions pull one off task. The insights about promoting innovative projects and the hacks that are offered for materializing ideas are priceless. T.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
