Interview with BusinessWeek:

 

"A wonderfully enjoyable tour of the creative process. Murray's lively
description of how he used these tools to create his own products is a
major plus. People will be stealing from this work for years to come! review
Roger von Oech

author, "A Whack on the Side of the Head"
and the "Creative Whack Pack."

 

"Everything a business book should be. A great concept brilliantly expressed in an interesting and well-written book. review  
Al Ries

author, "Positioning" and "War in the Boardroom"

 

"We met in strange places: Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Milwaukee, Kansas City. And so I spent my years with David Murray, just as zany, articulate, well-read, and completely unpredictable as is his book. Ah, the book: Dave Murray in person is just like his book, only more so. “Break the rules,” he said. We broke them.  “I’m thinking of writing a book about this,” he said. I encouraged him. And here it is, how to be brilliant and innovative. New ideas are always amalgamations of old ones. Borrowed.  Murray makes it seem simple, but don’t be deceived. Everything he says is true. All the principles are there: simply stated, simple to understand. review
Don Norman

author, "The Design of Everyday Things"

"An entertaining, easy-to-read romp through the history of innovation, from Gutenberg to the Google guys, plus a method that appears to actually work."

Reena Jena -- BusinessWeek



"Borrowing Brilliance is truly creative brilliance!  It is simple, easy to read…it’s magical.  David Murray shared his life’s personal stories juxtaposed with his six simple steps to business innovation.  His book brings to life these steps through building on the ideas of others.  You can borrow and use his six steps and explode with fresh new ideas the day after finishing Borrowing Brilliance. review
