 In My Top 10 Books Oct 24, 2009
Where to start? This is not just a book about thinking visually, it also contains a powerful nomenclature for problem solving in life. There are the six types of problems (the 6 W's). There is a look-see, imagine and show model evolving a simple image of look (crossing a railroad track), see (a train coming), imagine (how long will it take for me to cross the train track vs. how long will it will take the train to reach where I am standing) and show (the act of walking ahead). SQVID which is a "show tool", uses an amplifier analogy of trading off simple vs elaborate, quality vs. quantity, visual vs execution, individual vs comparison and delta vs status quo. Finally the author puts it all together by using a Swiss Army knife tying everything together as a simple took kit. Simple, brilliant and a must have tool for problem solving in life.
Great gift for someone at work Oct 15, 2009
I have a feeling this book should be rated 5 stars, however, I didn't read it. I gave as a gift. The recipient has told me that he LOVES it! He's promised to share with me afterwards.
A book you will keep going back to - excellent value Oct 14, 2009
Many business related books over-promise and under-deliver.
This book does exactly what it claims to do - helps you solve problems and sell ideas with pictures.
The method is clear, concise and powerful. The writing is compelling.
The broad concepts are on the website (digital roam) - so check them out to see if this is what you are after.
A must have if you need to prepare and deliver presentations.

 it is too boring and empty Oct 13, 2009
Is good incentivate people to develop their visual skills, but this marketing-seller-Self-Help book language is very annoying. Also are the cases showed: it is ridiculous attributing success only to drawings. It is impossible measuring this kind of thing. Just to finish it, all scientific studies mentioned should have been their source noted. How can you trust on that incredible scientific fact if you do not know the source? I would indicate this book to microsoft-markenting-seller-powerpoint people only. If you are a designer ou an information architecture, do not lose your time.
 Good if you have never considered the subject matter before Oct 11, 2009
Good if you are new to the subject, but old hat for the rest of us.
I really wanted to like this but, but I feel like it's only good for people who have never considered visual thinking. I felt like I already knew everything in the book. Parts were very boring. He categorizes the process, but many of us have already done that for ourselves throughout the years.
Not horrible; a fun book to have sitting around for others to read.
