About this ebook
For leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs, "an actionable way to move forward and create worthwhile ideas that will meet a need in the marketplace" (David Baldwin, author of The Belief Economy).
What separates a good idea from a great one? A great idea presents a well-formulated thought or plan of action that spurs growth, change, advancement, adaptation, or new insight. Worthwhile ideas move the needle; they change the playing field altogether. But most professionals cannot generate a solid idea. They either offer up tired, reused ones or generate lots of ideas but none that are worth pursuing. This book shows how to cultivate a mindset that produces the kind of ideas people can't turn down.
The New Art of Ideas is designed to help you consistently produce worthwhile ideas by becoming a nimble and imaginative thinker better equipped to compete and produce in a global economy. Robin Landa identifies the Three Gs of every good idea:
Goal—Your vision for the end result
Gap—The underdeveloped area that your idea fills
Gai—The overall benefits of your goal
With explanations and examples of each component, this book demystifies the process of effective ideation and hands you the key to unlock your creative potential.

At its core, this book is about “how to get to great ideas.” Knowing the background of the author, Robin Landa, I knew this book would be a great resource for those in design and advertising, but after finishing the book, I would recommend this book to anyone from any industry looking for ways to generate and develop worthwhile ideas. Throughout the book, Landa breaks down her methodology of The Three Gs: Goal, Gap, and Gain—and how they can inspire ideas.
