*Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author and host of the
Happier podcast*

improvisation may seem to be out of reach, but not if you are brave
enough to read this extraordinary book. With memorable
illustrations and compelling exercises, Creative Acts for Curious
People clearly lays out practical ways to overcome any obstacle
*Francesca Gino, Harvard Business School professor and bestselling
author of Rebel Talent*
"Attending classes at the d.school changed my life. I learned that
to build empathy and creativity, you have to break out of habits
and patterns to see the world in new ways. This book is packed end
to end with ways to do just that by taking any part of the design
process to a new level, be it in the initial need-finding stage or
deep into the execution phase. The illustrations are great too!
*Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram*
"I've seen firsthand how the d.school thinks about creativity and
design. Creative Acts for Curious Peoplemakes the genius of Sarah
Stein Greenberg and the d.school available and accessible to
everyone. The experiences inside this book teach both the hard and
soft skills that we all need to navigate today's world with
agility, resilience, and imagination
*Lorraine Twohill, chief marketing officer at Google*
Talent and intelligence are universal, but resources and
opportunities are not. This book offers everyone what I experienced
at the d.school-the realization that when you believe in your own
creativity and support people in cultivating their own, together we
can create a new future
*Michael Tubbs, former mayor of Stockton, California, and founder
of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income*
