Advantages: Well-explained, easily adaptable ideas, very amusing, authors practice what they preach
Disadvantages: Focuses on business and 'big' ideas

...Have you ever wished you could be more like those people who seem to solve problems in the blink of an eye and come up with easier, more effective solutions even when there didn?t seem to be a problem in the first place? Those people aren?t that different to you and me ? they?ve just learnt how to think in a way that allows them to see problems and solutions that the rest of us miss. So how can you learn to think more like the world?s innovators? An excellent first step would be to buy or borrow ?Why Not??
