He focuses on five key elements: * Focus: Begin with your end goal in mind. * Relationships: Build stimulating relationships and ideas will follow. * Energy: Manage it as your most valuable resource. * Stimuli: Structure the right "inputs" to maximize creative output. * Hours: Focus on effectiveness, not efficiency.

" To paraphrase Godin on the cover of this book: if thinking is at all any part of your work/life (that should be most of us - minus politicians), read this book. Actually, politicians should read this book, too. "
