The book also delves into the importance of “liquid networks” and open platforms that facilitate the flow of information and collaboration. Drawing examples from various fields such as science, technology, and the arts, Johnson illustrates how innovations often build upon previous ideas and thrive in environments that encourage serendipity and cross-disciplinary connections. “Where Good Ideas Come From” is not just a guide for individuals seeking to enhance their creative processes; it’s a celebration of the collective intelligence that drives human progress. It inspires readers to rethink the conventional wisdom surrounding innovation and underscores the significance of creating environments that cultivate the exchange and evolution of ideas.
