THE DOODLE REVOLUTION

Sunni Brown

Unlock the Power to Think Differently

A fun guide to embracing the doodle, harnessing the power of visual language, and using it to clarify and visualize complex subjects.
What do Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Richard Feynman, Henry Ford, and John F. Kennedy have in common? Like virtually all heavy-hitting thinkers, they looked beyond just words and numbers to get intellectual and creative insights. They actively applied a deceptively simple tool to think both smarter and faster: the doodle. And so can the rest of us—zero artistic talent required.

Visual thinking expert Sunni Brown has created THE DOODLE REVOLUTION as a kick-starter guide for igniting and applying simple visual language to any challenge. The instinctive and universal act of doodling need only be unleashed to innovate, solve problems, and elevate cognitive performance instantly.

With humor, wit, and a commitment to disrupting our perceptions of doodling, Brown teaches us how to: · Doodle any object, concept, or system imaginable. · Invent, innovate, and solve messy problems. · Transform text into a visual display that engages an audience. · Explain the relevance of visual literacy to leaders at work and at school.
Despite what our cultures suggest, doodling and sketching are powerful tools, and they are for everyone—not just artsy types. It’s time we recognized visual literacy as a fundamental requirement for the future.

This accessible, insightful book teaches readers in business, science, engineering, education, and many other fields how to use the simple, universal, instinctive act of doodling to solve business problems faster, show people what they’re thinking, and elevate cognitive performance on the spot.

Sunni Brown, one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business and one of the 10 Most Creative People on Twitter, is the coauthor of Gamestorming. Her 2011 TED Talk on doodling is one of the top-five most emailed TED Talks of all time.

Doodling is not just a nervous habit. It nudges the mind to discover different angles and hidden connections. In the long run—and especially around new media—expressing oneself in raw text might not stand up in the face of artistic, spatial, and emotive text. Sunni has found a way to validate and systematize a new language that enables thinking on a whole new level.
