Book Reviews of Think Better: An Innovator's Guide to Productive Thinking

Book Review: Couldn't get past blatant innaccuracy.
Summary: 1 Stars

I was flicking through this book, and it seemed quite interesting, until I read the anecdote about NASA spending millions developing a 'Space Pen' while the wily Russians used pencils. Knowing this story to be completely untrue (see http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp) I slammed the book shut as I can't have any faith in someone who quotes such a well known urban legend as fact in the first few pages of a book.
