Overview
This two-book paperback bundle pairs a Financial Times and Economist-shortlisted business bestseller with a practical guide to creative potential. How Big Things Get Done reveals why ambitious projects succeed or fail, while Creative Mind And Success helps readers harness imagination to drive growth. Together they offer a rounded set for anyone interested in planning, decision-making, and the creative habits that turn ideas into results—an ideal gift or library addition for ambitious readers.
About the Books
How Big Things Get Done draws on decades of research by Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, co-written with journalist Dan Gardner, examining why major projects—from home renovations to space missions—run over time and over budget. The book identifies recurring errors behind failed projects and sets out research-based principles that help readers plan realistically, manage risk, and keep goals on track. Illustrated with real-world case studies spanning infrastructure, technology, and the arts, it is widely praised as essential reading for anyone managing ambitious undertakings.
Creative Mind And Success takes a different but complementary angle, focusing on the inner workings of creativity itself. Written by Ishi Macay, it guides readers through practical exercises designed to build a more creative mindset, overcome mental blocks, and translate fresh ideas into tangible achievements. Rather than treating creativity as innate talent, the book frames it as habits that can be developed with practice, making it approachable for students, professionals, and anyone looking to reignite their imagination. Together, these paperbacks give readers both the strategic and creative tools needed to see ambitious ideas through to completion.
