A few years ago Michael Norton and his buddies wrote about “The Ikea Effect” which they describe this way: “When people construct products themselves, they come to overvalue their (often poorly made) creations.” Norton’s gang studied their hypothesis using origami, which is not a product most people buy, but was undoubtedly easier for the researchers to haul around than pallets of build-it-yourself kitchens.

I was given a copy of Richie Norton’s book, The Power of Starting Something Stupid. I was intrigued by the title and the fact that Norton had written this book with his wife. Norton’s motivation for both the book and the principles he espouses within the book are born out of one of the greatest of tragedies – the loss of his newborn son. From this point of view, Norton walks the reader through the possibilities and potential that each of us have.

Author Richie Norton explains that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid. The Power of Starting Something Stupid is about finding the courage to do the things you don’t feel you are ready to do. What if the key to success, creativity, and fulfillment in your life lies in the potential of those stupid ideas? Stupid is the New Smart—the common denominator for success, creativity, and innovation in business and life.
