“There is no more powerful way to prove that we know something well than to draw a simple picture of it. And there is no more powerful way to see hidden solutions than to pick up a pen and draw out the pieces of our problem,” says Dan in the opening pages of The Back of the Napkin (Expanded Edition): Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures.
And that’s exactly why I bought the book: to learn a framework to draw any problem or convey any idea.
He reveals that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, even those who swear they can’t draw.
And he shows how thinking with pictures can help you discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights.
I read the whole book in a few hours last Sunday morning before I went on my morning bike ride.
It was published in 2013 so you can find cheap used copies in great condition pretty easy.
Recommended for everyone.
Best price I found for the paperback or hardcover version of the book is here >>>
