How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?

Originals addresses the challenge of improving the world from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.

Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Originals explores:

• how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt

• how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children

• how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent

The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.
