What we can learn about fostering innovation and creative thinking from some of the most inventive people of all times?the ancient GreeksWhen it comes to innovation and creative thinking, we are still catching up with the ancient Greeks.

In short, the Greeks ?invented? innovation itself?and they still have a great deal to teach us about it.How to Innovate is an engaging and entertaining introduction to key ideas about?and examples of?innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D?Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus, with the original Greek text on facing pages. These writings illuminate and illustrate timeless principles of creating something new?borrowing or adapting existing ideas or things, cross-fertilizing disparate elements, or criticizing and disrupting current conditions.From the true story of Archimedes?s famous ?Eureka!? moment, to Aristotle?s thoughts on physical change and political innovation, to accounts of how disruption and competition drove invention in Greek warfare and the visual arts, How to Innovate is filled with valuable insights about how change happens?and how to bring it about.…
