I have spent my entire professional life as a successful inventor and innovation management consultant. I've seen innovation from many vantage points. In my previous books, The Innovation Playbook (Wiley) and The Digital Innovation Playbook (Wiley), I focused on how corporations can do a better job of creating exceptional products for their customers. Invent Stuff is different, in that it's goal is to let everyone know that we are all born with the innate gift of innovation and creativity. It is my sincere hope that you read this book and you take away that very important message. Innovation is for everyone and that means innovation is for you. Every day I wake up and play in the limitless sandbox of creativity, creating value for others while making a good living, having a great time. if you love to serve others, to make them happy, to deliver value, then innovation and for that matter, this book is for you.

<p>What is a Breaker? He is a leader, but not an ordinary one. A Breaker leads in the workplace before going to lead in their industry. He is a creative destroyer. They take what is seemingly working and figure how to break it and from those parts, they build something better. In today s Innovation Economy, this is what leadership looks like. Our schools and corporate training programs breed leaders all the time. They are the managers, executives, and CEOs. With one major drawback, most of the time these leaders are nothing more than glorified strategizers. Paradoxically, our leadership education produces conformists. In other words, they are managing what is already there, maintaining a course set by some other force. The Breaker differentiates his or herself from competitors in one simple but powerful way: Breaking the rules and standards to create connections that lead to innovation. The Breaker breaks away from the pack through originality and value production. It s the proactive approach that becomes important here. Breakers are not repairmen or technicians making sure the machine keeps running at its current pace. Breakers are circumventing, upheaving, and disrupting the current models and practices in ways that are frightening to those who have been doing the same thing over and over again for years (and liking it). Redundancy is useless to the Breaker. What s the use of reliability if it s not going to increase your margins eventually? What I'm saying is, if it ain't broke, break it. More importantly break it before someone else does because the new enabling technologies, ultra-competition, and hyperconnectivity are completely changing how we deliver innovative value. This transforming landscape is defined by drastic shifts in how leaders approach markets and industries.</p>

<p>So what exactly is the cost of being sick? The price is more than you will want to pay--but it is a bill you can avoid. Lousy nutritional habits, a treatment vs. prevention medical industry mindset, and the high cost of paying for prescription drugs are all merging to create a health care perfect storm that will, if left unattended, swallow the health care industry whole and take a lot of Americans down with it. Healthcare futurist and medical product inventor Nicholas J. Webb explores seven key predictions regarding the future--and the reality--of America's current health care system. Based on current studies, The Cost of Being Sick follows today's trends to their logical finales. Avoiding this imminent crash, however, can be done. With health benefits slipping while the cost of treatments continues to escalate all in the face of poor health routines that feed the disease process, there is only one possible course of action. Each of us must accept the responsibility for our own health--not only for ourselves, but for our children as well. And here's the silver-lining: Not only does The Cost of Being Sick expose the cause of our failing health care system, but it also presents the cure. And the cure promises more than just relief from the problems we are facing. This cure also promises a better lifestyle and a strengthened financial position.</p>
