Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Adam M. Grant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not revolutionary by any means, but still has some interesting information and useful tidbits.

Some of my notes;
It's a numbers game more often than not:
Mozart composed more than 600 pieces, Beethoven: 650, Bach: over 1000. The more pieces a composer produces, the greater the chances of a hit
Picasso made over 1,800 paintings, 1,200 sculptures, 2,800 ceramics, 12,000 drawings.
Maya Angelou wrote 166 poems, 7 autobiographies.
Einstein had 248 publications
-->If you want to do original work, do a lot of work.

We prefer regular pics of friends, but inverted pics of ourselves (that's how we see ourselves)
Appeals to character work better than appeals to actions (please don't be a cheater, rather than please don't cheat).
Venting doesn't extinguish anger, it feeds it.
