A kaleidoscopic look at eleven disruptive innovations—including the iPhone, transistor, disposable diapers, and Julia Child's The Art of French Cooking—reveals how they reshaped industries and societies, propelling humanity toward new frontiers. From gunpowder to generative AI, disruptive forces continually rewrite the rules of business, society, and human potential. What drives these revolutionary changes? Innovation expert Scott Anthony weaves together captivating stories behind history's most transformative disruptions, spanning from ninth-century China to twenty-first-century Silicon Valley. Through eleven pivotal innovations, such as the printing press, mass-produced automobiles, and the McDonald's food system, Anthony uncovers the hidden patterns behind world-changing breakthroughs. However, this exploration goes beyond celebrating invention; it introduces the iconoclasts—Renaissance scientists, French-cooking enthusiasts, and corporate visionaries—who recognized opportunities others overlooked. Anthony decodes the process of genuine disruption, stripping away the mythology surrounding it. As artificial intelligence and other technologies promise to unleash another wave of transformation, this timely exploration offers innovators and curious readers a compelling look at how radical change reshapes industries and occasionally changes everything.

From the author of The Little Black Book of Innovation, a new guide for using the power of habit to build a culture of innovation. Leaders have experimented with open innovation programs, corporate accelerators, venture capital arms, skunkworks, and innovation contests. They've trekked to Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Tel Aviv to learn from today's hottest, most successful tech companies. Yet most would admit they've failed to create truly innovative cultures. There's a better way--and it all starts with the power of habit. In Eat, Sleep, Innovate, innovation expert Scott Anthony and his impressive team of coauthors use groundbreaking research in behavioral science to provide a first-of-its-kind playbook for empowering individuals and teams to be their most curious and creative--every single day. Throughout the book, the authors reveal dozens of hacks and habits they've collected from workplaces across the globe that will unleash the natural innovator inside everyone. In addition to case studies of "normal organizations doing extraordinary things," they provide readers with the tools to create their own hacks and habits, which they can then use to build and sustain their own models of a culture of innovation. Fun, lively, and utterly unique, Eat, Sleep, Innovate is the book you need to make innovation a natural and habitual act within your team or organization.

Every day, individuals take action based on how they believe innovation will change industries. Yet these beliefs are largely based on guesswork and incomplete data and lead to costly errors in judgment. Now, internationally renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen and his research partners Scott D. Anthony and Erik A. Roth present a groundbreaking framework for predicting outcomes in the evolution of any industry. Based on proven theories outlined in Christensen's landmark books The Innovator's Dilemma and The Innovator's Solution, Seeing What's Next offers a practical, three-part model that helps decision-makers spot the signals of industry change, determine the outcome of competitive battles, and assess whether a firm's actions will ensure or threaten future success. Through in-depth case studies of industries from aviation to health care, the authors illustrate the predictive power of innovation theory in action.
