Big Ideas Little Pictures

I can't think of any book on the market that enlightens and illuminates ideas as clearly and concisely as this one.

…it is marvelous to have so many favorites and previously unseen Big Ideas in one place… Don't just pass it around, gift it.

The sketches have a charming simplicity and the exposition is always written with care and curiosity.

The one for my office sits next to… the great Gary Larson of The Farside fame. The ability to convey a big idea in a single frame is genius.

How our world works, one picture at a time, with such clarity and humor that the book is entertaining and educational at the same time.

…ideal to dip into for some daily inspiration or to refer back to when trying to convey complex ideas yourself.

…an alchemy of "Ah Ha!" moments and points to ponder… A new take on what constitutes an illuminated manuscript.

I bought copies for each of my kids… It's full of easy-to-absorb info, and is a great conversation starter when other people pick it up.

It really scratches the itch to learn little things, without having to doom scroll the internet.

Each page is a useful nugget, and many of them have stuck with me and become relatable methodologies which accompany me in my everyday real life.

…what I like most about this book is that I've been able to share it with my kids. They love reading the book with me because the sketches illustrate each idea simply.

Lots of interesting ideas, and the sketches are genuinely delightful.

…he's adeptly skilled at explaining complex ideas with deceptively simple drawings.

Every sketch is so thoughtful and thorough in its transmission, even though they may seem simple at first, there is always more to drill down into.

Wonderful to have around and flip through for a remarkable set of mental models that are handy at work and in life.

Find myself regularly picking up the book for 5-10 mins to read through… guests love looking at it and asking where I got it!

The only downside is figuring out where it belongs on my bookshelves. Is it art, sociology, psychology, business, a reference—or all of the above?!

I've been keeping the book with me and flip through the pages whenever I get a coffee break etc.

Fabulous gift, super cute, great couch-table book, every teacher should have one, I'm already more intelligent ;)

I was fascinated by the way the illustrations said as much and more than the written descriptions. Have re read more than a few times.

My brain strength is visual-spatial thinking so this book is perfect for me.

I'm loving the diversity of topics and mind tickles. This is the perfect book to leave out for someone to flip through and see where the book leads.

This is one book that will not fall into the Tsundoku category (p. 238).

I love it and use it to explain many things in my work… but my college age grandson took the book back to college with him to share with his roommates.

It's the kind of book that you leave on your coffee table, knowing that anyone who flips through it will smile, learn, and probably laugh out loud.

What is particularly good is that the whole family can read it or just look at the pictures.

The best "Bathroom Book" ever. Entertaining and informative with charming illustrations.

Jono Hey has an amazing ability and skill to drill down and make difficult ideas very understandable. I have so many "ah ha" moments from his book.

Get the book and open a random page is now my morning routine.

Open any page, and you'll find an incisive, thought-provoking, fun, and genuinely interesting observation… I handed it to my 7-year-old daughter, and she was transfixed!

It's great to use with the kids in the car to discuss various topics.

…like an online blog meets comic strip meets how-to guide on all of the random life stuff that you probably should know as an adult but no one ever explicitly told you.

…lots of sage advice, some fun life tips, and many interesting facts to think about. The illustrations are often clever and memorable.

A great book to open to a random page and learn something new… Hope the author creates a daily calendar someday.

Simple, small sketches that are beautiful . . . Imagine that!! Carry it with you on summer trips.

Absolutely beautifully illustrated, a wonderful way of relating complex topics in a beautiful concise manner, I can't stop reading this, superb!

As a visual learner, this style of knowledge/information presentation really resonates with me… Way better than consuming social media!

I don't know how many times I've mentioned some of his sketches when at work and I expect to continue doing so.

Eclectic, charming, and with gentle humour. Had a wonderful time going through these entries with my teen and tween.

When thinking of a complex idea, all one needs to do is bring to mind the picture and understanding seems to follow.

Short simple book that I bought for my kids but ended up reading myself.

…the artistic style is a cross between Tom Gauld and XKCD (Randall Munroe). It's a charming way of explaining… the mechanics of our world and universe.

Purchase four (4) for gifts and a fifth for self.

Incredible to introduce the small ones into critical thinking, deep scientific concepts, while keeping it funny. I read 2-3 pages every night with my daughter and talk about it.

I keep it sitting at my kitchen table and instead of mindlessly scrolling on my phone, I study a couple of sketches and explanations…

Equal parts entertaining and educational - fun to flip through at my desk between otherwise boring work meetings.

Although simple, it is not dumbed down. It is done with humor.

I'll often have them projected in my classroom… I see students look up at the drawings from their writing, nod as though they've gotten an inspiration, and then return to work.

I intend to bulk buy and make this my go-to for gifting for ages 9-99.

He uses humor, simplicity and warmth in examples that resonate with readers of various ages and subtly encourages them to intentionally appreciate the world.
