Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation by Steven Johnson makes that cut. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s ever had bursts of inspiration and wondered why they haven’t been able to replicate those circumstances, or anyone who wants to innovate at all.

In fact, your influence quotient will be a much greater determinant of your ultimate success than your “Intelligence Quotient” could ever be.
