Why read it?
1 author picked Big Ideas, Little Pictures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book allows the reader to dip into any section and find something of interest explained with an illuminating picture. The topics are very wide-ranging including such ideas as Tsundoku (with an unauthorized sketch of his parents' bedroom), the Swiss Cheese Model of safety failures, and the IKEA effect.
Full disclosure: I am Jono's father so am likely biased ,,,
