Helen Sildna, founder of Tallinn Music Week For almost three decades, I have worked to create and advance some of the foremost purpose-focused initiatives undertaken by major corporations and brands.

Carol Cone - CEO, The Purpose Collaborative We can't solve problems by using the same thinking that created them. Imagination is a gift and not something to be suppressed. Brian helps us unlock the imagination needed to ideate and deliver real world solutions.
Brian Solis, digital analyst, anthropologist, futurist, author of X: The Experience When Business Meets Design I wrote a book that explained how our ability to stay connected - constantly, instantly, and globally - was dramatically changing our world. Now, the world faces great challenges, and confronting them will require thinking very differently than we have to date. It is time to explore big new ideas, and develop new models and methods. That will require imagination. And this book provides the guidance we all need to use and apply our imagination more and better than ever before.

To get anywhere worthwhile requires imagination. Imagination is the next big thing, and Brian Reich gives us the keys to unlock the power of our imagination. We need to explore new, ambitious ideas and this is the book to help us do it.
