In this groundbreaking book, Fortune 500 innovation guru and creativity instructor Bryan Mattimore takes readers on a journey through time – with the help of AI – to explore the wisdom of quotes from history's greatest minds. Learn why Charlie Chaplin said, “It takes courage to make a fool of yourself,” or tips from Sherlock Holmes’ creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on being able to practice “the grand thing of reasoning backwards,” and why French fashion designer Coco Chanel believed so strongly that, “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” Quotes features 41 carefully selected quotes that inspire positive introspection, creative insights, and original thinking. Each chapter includes a short biography of the thinker, AI-generated insights why the historical giant might have said their quote, as well as reflections on the quote by other greats in history! Most important though, there are over 350 activities that enable the reader to “live the wisdom” of the quote. Be it championing a "magic photo contest"... inspired by Roald Dahl’s, “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it”... or creating a community "wishing tree," these exercises offer a unique approach to understanding and applying the wisdom of these quotes in our lives. So, come along and enjoy this unique journey of self-discovery, and revel in the delight of connecting with wisdom from yesteryear in an entirely novel way. And know that, as Dante once said, "A great flame follows a little spark!"
