Summary:
"Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter, discusses the power of creativity and how to harness it, through stories from his life and career. From GQ's "Nerd of the Year" to one of Time's most influential people in the world, Biz Stone represents different things to different people. But he is known to all as the creative, effervescent, funny, charmingly positive and remarkably savvy co-founder of Twitter-the social media platform that singlehandedly changed the way the world works. Personal stories from his early life and his careers at Google and Twitter, sharing his knowledge about the nature and importance of ingenuity today. Opportunity can be manufactured; Great work comes from abandoning a linear way of thinking; Creativity never runs out; Asking questions is free; Empathy is core to personal and global success. Biz also addresses failure, the value of vulnerability, ambition, and corporate culture"--Provided by publisher.
