Why read it?

2 authors picked Seeing What Others Don't as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In the Era of Smart Technology, many of you will have work if you can think differently than the Technology can think. Examples are thinking creatively, innovatively, and going into the unknown and figuring things out.

This book is all about Insights - seeing new associations, new connections, new trends, patterns, and irregularities. Gary Klein gives you the tools to become an explorer: an Insightful Person who can open new avenues, new opportunities, and new ways of thinking. I learned a lot from Gary Klein, and I am sure you will, too.

From Edward's list on helping you become your best self.

This book taught me a lot about noticing, decision-making, and insight generation. Looking at huge breakthroughs and exploring interesting individuals, Klein brings you into a new world and makes it easy to want to fix things. I particularly liked the sections on identifying barriers to achieving success and took that principle and popped it into my book too.
