具体描述
As a technology pioneer at MIT and as the leader of three successful start-ups, Kevin Ashton experienced firsthand the all-consuming challenge of creating something new. Now, in a tour-de-force narrative twenty years in the making, Ashton leads us on a journey through humanity’s greatest creations to uncover the surprising truth behind who creates and how they do it. From the crystallographer’s laboratory where the secrets of DNA were first revealed by a long forgotten woman, to the electromagnetic chamber where the stealth bomber was born on a twenty-five-cent bet, to the Ohio bicycle shop where the Wright brothers set out to “fly a horse,” Ashton showcases the seemingly unremarkable individuals, gradual steps, multiple failures, and countless ordinary and usually uncredited acts that lead to our most astounding breakthroughs.
Creators, he shows, apply in particular ways the everyday, ordinary thinking of which we are all capable, taking thousands of small steps and working in an endless loop of problem and solution. He examines why innovators meet resistance and how they overcome it, why most organizations stifle creative people, and how the most creative organizations work. Drawing on examples from art, science, business, and invention, from Mozart to the Muppets, Archimedes to Apple, Kandinsky to a can of Coke, How to Fly a Horse is a passionate and immensely rewarding exploration of how “new” comes to be.

读后感
还记得学马克思唯物主义的时候，曾经有一个问题：历史究竟是人民大众创造的，还是英雄创造的？ 按照马克思历史唯物主义的观点：历史是由人民大众创造的，而不是英雄。 这个观点好像我们应该高兴，毕竟普通人的我们竟然也参与了创造历史，但是仔细一想，总感觉我们柴米油盐酱醋...
评分——读凯文-阿什顿《被误读的创新》 对于人类历史上每一个重大创新或者创造，我们都情不自禁地怀着“崇拜”之情。它们属于天才，属于天才灵光乍现的一刻。我们从小听到的故事、道理就是如此。 这似乎已经成为一个真理：只有天才才有创造的能力或资格，而普通凡人只能匍匐于尘...
评分这本书是导师面试我时推荐给我看的，因为我说自己拖延、没有目标、缺乏创新，于是他说：现在回去就看这本书。看完后，我并没有醍醐灌顶的感觉，也未能瞬间明白创造的本质和内核是什么，更没有能够依葫芦画瓢地变成一个创新人才。然而，它让作为一个平凡者的我，不再惧怕创...
评分罗胖开始推广这本书了，看看后续如何，说实话，该书在goodread上的分数并没像罗胖所言的那样具有爆炸性，还是等时间来验证之后的销量与影响吧。不过真的不知道，为什么要把原作这样一个标题翻译的那么四平八稳
评分文/吴情 谈到创新，智力上的，或者实践中的，我们脑子里可能会首先蹦出一系列与之相关的故事，比如大声叫着“我知道了”从浴缸中跑出的阿基里德——他发现了浮力定律，又如苹果树下被砸中脑袋的牛顿——他发现了万有引力定律，再或者是爱因斯坦的灵光一现，使之产生出相对论的...
