Based on Laurie Rosenwald's popular workshop, How to Make Mistakes On Purpose: Bring Order to Your Chaos reveals an intuitive, entertaining way to come up with truly original ideas. The book will be released Nov. 9 from Hachette.

A fresh, colorful guide to discovery, with clearly marked directions and witty prompts, this is a book about living a productive, individualistic life. Whatever your job, it gives you a way to zig while everyone around you can only zag. It will also make you laugh along the way.
